Article Abstract

Second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging technology utilizes the wavelength range of 1000-1700 nm, significantly reducing tissue absorption and scattering, and combining high spatial resolution and extremely low spontaneous fluorescence, bringing a breakthrough to biomedical imaging. This review systematically explores the fundamental principles and intrinsic advantages of NIR-II optical imaging. Crucially, it delineates three strategies for probe design: achieving red-shifted emission wavelengths, modulating donor-acceptor electronic structures, and implementing synergistic metal coordination coupled with surface engineering. These approaches enable the tailored optimization of probe performance for diverse clinical applications.The review further showcases the exceptional capabilities of NIR-II imaging in structural and functional visualization across macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic scales in vivo. Delving into cutting-edge applications, it critically analyzes the role of NIR-II in tumor theranostics, advanced biosensing, intraoperative navigation, and multimodal synergistic imaging. Particular emphasis is placed on the transformative potential of integrated photodynamic therapy platforms enabling a "minimally invasive, diagnosis-treatment-monitoring" closed-loop theranostic paradigm. Ultimately, this review aims to catalyze the development and clinical translation of NIR-II imaging technology, providing innovative concepts and powerful tools for biomedical research and clinical practice. It concludes by envisioning future directions focused on overcoming existing challenges through molecular engineering and technological convergence, and exploring deeper imaging windows (NIR-IIc, NIR-III).

In the visual cortices, receptive fields (RFs) are arranged in a gradient from small sizes in the center of the visual field to the largest sizes at the periphery. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) mapping of population RFs, we investigated RF adaptation in V1, V2, and V3 in patients after long-term photoreceptor degeneration affecting the central (Stargardt disease [STGD]) and peripheral (Retinitis Pigmentosa [RP]) regions of the retina. In controls, we temporarily limited the visual field to the central 10° to model peripheral loss.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are highly compartmentalized neurons whose long axons serve as the sole connection between the eye and the brain. In both injury and disease, RGC degeneration occurs in a similarly compartmentalized manner, with distinct molecular and cellular responses in the axonal and somatodendritic regions. The goal of this study was to establish a microfluidic-based platform to investigate RGC compartmentalization in both health and disease states.

Background: Lateral malleolar avulsion fracture (LMAF) and subfibular ossicle (SFO) are distinct entities that both present as small bone fragments near the lateral malleolus on imaging, yet require different treatment strategies. Clinical and radiological differentiation is challenging, which can impede timely and precise management. On imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic gold standard for differentiating LMAF from SFO, whereas radiological differentiation on computed tomography (CT) alone is challenging in routine practice.

Importance: It is unclear whether the duration of amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology is associated with neurodegeneration and whether this depends on the presence of tau.

Objective: To examine the association of longitudinal atrophy with Aβ positron emission tomography (PET)-positivity (Aβ+) and the estimated duration of Aβ+ (Aβ+ duration), controlling for tau-positivity.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Data for this longitudinal cohort study were drawn from the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer Prevention and the Wisconsin Alzheimer Disease Research Center Clinical Core Study.

Microbial co-cultures provide significant advantages over commonly used axenic cultures in biotechnological processes, including increased productivity and access to novel natural products. However, differentiated quantification of the microorganisms in co-cultures remains challenging using conventional measurement techniques. To address this, a fluorescence-based approach was developed to enable the differentiated online monitoring of microbial growth in co-cultures.
