Article Abstract
Three-dimensional printing offers promise for patient-specific implants and therapies but is often limited by the need for invasive surgical procedures. To address this, we developed an imaging-guided deep tissue in vivo sound printing (DISP) platform. By incorporating cross-linking agent-loaded low-temperature-sensitive liposomes into bioinks, DISP enables precise, rapid, on-demand cross-linking of diverse functional biomaterials using focused ultrasound. Gas vesicle-based ultrasound imaging provides real-time monitoring and allows for customized pattern creation in live animals. We validated DISP by successfully printing near diseased areas in the mouse bladder and deep within rabbit leg muscles in vivo, demonstrating its potential for localized drug delivery and tissue replacement. DISP's ability to print conductive, drug-loaded, cell-laden, and bioadhesive biomaterials demonstrates its versatility for diverse biomedical applications.

Background And Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) facilitates high accuracy, small margins treatments at the cost of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual delineation of organs-at-risk (OARs). Auto-segmentation models show promise in streamlining this workflow. This study investigates the clinical applicability of a set of thoracic OAR segmentation models for baseline treatment planning in lung tumor patients.

Conventional fluorescence-guided oncotherapy has high fluorescence background due to in situ excitation, which limits its clinical applications. Near infrared (NIR)-emitting persistent luminescent nanoparticles possess distinctive advantages, such as the ability to function without in-situ excitation, a high signal-to-noise ratio, and deep tissue penetration. These properties make them highly promising for in vivo bioimaging applications.

Accurate and automated segmentation of 3D biomedical images is a sophisticated imperative in clinical diagnosis, imaging-guided surgery, and prognosis judgment. Although the burgeoning of deep learning technologies has fostered smart segmentators, the successive and simultaneous garnering global and local features still remains challenging, which is essential for an exact and efficient imageological assay. To this end, a segmentation solution dubbed the mixed parallel shunted transformer (MPSTrans) is developed here, highlighting 3D-MPST blocks in a U-form framework.

Fiber-optic technology addresses nanoparticle-induced systemic toxicity and limited light penetration in phototheranostics. However, navigating optical fibers in vivo through current medical imaging modalities exhibits critical limitations, leaving "last-mile" interventional challenges unresolved. Herein, we demonstrate a near-infrared II imaging-guided self-illuminating fiber-optic theranostic probe strategy, integrating portable near-infrared II self-illumination-based navigation, luminescent ratiometry-mediated tumor identification, and multimodal thermal dose monitoring under photothermal therapy.

Nanoparticle-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising strategy for cancer treatment; however, nanoparticle instability and lack of precise imaging tools for real-time temperature monitoring during therapy and nanoparticle tracking have hindered investigations in animal models. To address these critical issues, we present a theranostic platform that seamlessly integrates armored core-gold nanostar (AC-GNS)-mediated PTT with full-view photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT), enabling nanoparticle tracking and real-time imaging-guided PTT in deep tissues. The AC-GNS platform delivered exceptional photostability and thermal resilience beyond those of conventional nanoparticles while serving as a high-performance contrast agent for PACT and a photothermal transducer for PTT.
