The development of tumor-targeting probes capable of accurately identifying tumor locations and providing real-time intraoperative navigation is of significant clinical importance. We synthesize a tumor-targeted probe by conjugating a fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) with near-infrared organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) material. We then analyze its surgical navigation performance in the liver cancer model and its imaging performance in fresh patient-derived samples. In vivo validation reveals that the probe exhibits optimal phosphorescence intensity within 48 h (8.53 × 10<sup>5</sup> p s<sup>−1</sup> cm<sup>−2</sup> sr<sup>−1</sup>) and an average signal-to-noise ratio of 16. The probe could effectively identify FAP-positive samples from liver cancer patients.

In this study, we introduce a universal fluorescence color gradient immunochromatographic assay (FCGICA) utilizing dual-signal superposition to enable ultra-sensitive, wide-range, and simultaneous quantitative detection of multiple small molecules. A red fluorescent nanomembrane (GTQD@Si) is synthesized by the continuous self-assembly of multilayer quantum dots and a SiO<sub>2</sub> shell on a graphene oxide surface. This nanomembrane exhibits high stability in complex environments and provides superior fluorescence along with a larger reactive interface for sensing. The integration of GTQD@Si with green fluorescent microspheres embedded in the test line generates a broad fluorescence color gradient based on variations in target molecule concentrations, thereby significantly enhancing the sensitivity, stability, and quantitative range of the immunochromatographic assay (ICA). By directly reading the ratio of red and green image signals, the proposed FCGICA enables simultaneous, high-sensitivity, and quantitative detection of three different types of small-molecule pollutants including fumonisin B1, imidacloprid, and clenbuterol within 15 min, with a detection range improved by 2–3 orders of magnitude compared with traditional methods.

The molecular design principle based on Einstein coefficients has been validated for achieving high gain, with <i>para</i>-phenylene-vinylene scaffolds recognized as one of the most crucial frameworks. In this study, we develop a stilbene tetramer derivative, QSBCz, which has significantly increased conjugation compared to the highly efficient laser material, BSBCz, resulting in a remarkably high radiative decay rate and a large gain cross-section. However, we find that the optical losses play a significant role in the light amplification of QSBCz. Indeed, a comprehensive understanding and suppression of detrimental optical loss pathways throughout the lasing process are essential, whereas the losses intrinsically associated with molecules have not been well considered. Although host–guest systems are helpful in preventing concentration quenching in aggregated states, this study reveals notable losses when using common host molecules such as 4,4′-bis(9<i>H</i>-carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl (CBP) and mCBP. In contrast, a BSBCz derivative is successfully employed as the host, leading to improved stimulated emission amplification.

Taking the helical hexaphenylsilole (HPS) and planar 3-(2-cyano-2-phenylethenyl-Z)-NH-indole (CPEI) aggregates of different sizes as examples, their stability and luminescent properties are investigated using multiscale modeling and thermal vibration correlation function approach. The size of stable aggregates formed depends on the molecular shape, with the critical aggregate sizes of 2.62 nm (2 molecules) and 2.87 nm (10 molecules) for helical HPS and planar CPEI, respectively. Their critical sizes for luminescence are 2.99 nm (6 molecules) and 2.87 nm (10 molecules), respectively. For HPS aggregates, as the size increases the luminescence is blue-shifted and enhanced owing to denser molecular packing until the size is large enough (4.66 nm, 20 molecules) the luminescence tends to remain unchanged; and thermal annealing makes these changes more pronounced. In contrast, the luminescent properties of CPEI aggregates are insensitive to aggregate size and thermal annealing treatment.

As a unique proteinaceous polymer, the mechanical property of α-syn fibril is a primary determinant of its neurotoxicity, immunogenicity, and seeding and transmission capacity. Nevertheless, how genetic mutations in α-syn fibrils cause varied polymer behaviors remains largely unknown. Using optical tweezers, we quantitatively characterize the mechanical properties of three α-syn fibril variants at the single-molecule level. We find that wild-type α-syn fibrils are generally more sustainable to an axial disruption force than those formed by the disease-causing E46K and A53T α-syn mutants, whereas their heterogeneous elastic properties manifest similarity. Based on the molecular dynamics simulations, the β-sheet motif and the interface between the two protofilaments dominate in stabilizing the fibril structure. Additionally, single-molecule and simulation analysis consistently reveal the force-driven α-syn protein unfolding without a fibril break. Due to the flexible periphery, these subtle structural changes become more pronounced with the E46K fibril.
