A new azobenzene-based chromophore was synthesized to create one-dimensional (1D) nanofibers with aggregation-induced emission enhancement characteristics. The enhanced red fluorescence of the fibrous structures can be switched off via mechanical pressure, friction, or heat by pressing, rubbing, or annealing.

Increasing attention has been paid to the detection of explosives due to the occurrence of terrorist attacks around the world. Here, we used free radical polymerization to develop two different types of fluorescent copolymers for use in detecting picric acid. One exhibits aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and is called PNNS [poly (-isopropyl acrylamide---hydroxymethyl acrylamide --styrene-pyrene), poly (NIPAAm--NMA--St-Py)].

Image-guided surgery is crucial for achieving complete tumor resection, reducing postoperative recurrence and improving patient survival. However, current clinical near-infrared fluorescent probes, such as indocyanine green (ICG), face two main limitations: 1) lack of active tumor targeting, and 2) short retention time in tumors, which restricts real-time imaging during surgery. To address these issues, we developed a near-infrared fluorescent probe capable of in situ nanofiber formation within tumor lesions.

Stimuli-responsive materials exhibiting exceptional room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) hold promise for emerging technologies. However, constructing such systems in a sustainable, scalable, and processable manner remains challenging. This work reports a bio-inspired strategy to develop RTP nanofiber materials using bacterial cellulose (BC) via bio-fermentation.

As one of the most widely used medical devices, sutures face challenges related to surgical site infections (SSIs) and lack of subcutaneous traceability. In the present study, a facile and effective approach using peptide-AIE nanofibers (NFs-K18) to create fluorescent-traceable antimicrobial sutures, which have been applied to four commercially available sutures is developed. The functionalized sutures of PGAS-NFs-K18 and PGLAS-NFs-K18 exhibit fluorescence with excellent penetration from 4 mm chicken breasts.

Article Synopsis
- Negative immune signals and low immunogenicity allow cancer cells to evade the immune system; blocking CXCR4 enhances T cell infiltration and effectiveness of anti-PD-L1 therapy.
- pH-responsive nanomaterials (APAB) carrying therapeutic agents respond to the acidic tumor environment, increasing their potency and targeting ability while remaining stable for over 96 hours.
- Combined treatment with APAB and photothermal therapy effectively suppressed tumor growth in mice and reduced metastasis, suggesting a promising approach for future cancer immunotherapy developments.
