Front Cover: Near-infrared aggregation-induced emission materials: Bibliometric analysis and their application in biomedical field

Abstract

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials emitting near-infrared (NIR) light offer advantages like deep tissue penetration, minimal background interference, and negligible tissue damage. Consequently, NIR-AIE holds great promise in biomedical applications, including cell and living imaging, photothermal and photodynamic therapy, making it a prominent research focus (e505).
