Multimodality imaging recognized as a promising monitoring strategy can serve the needs of accurate diagnosis and treatment of cancer by providing molecular and anatomic information about tumor sites. However, the probes based on multiple imaging modalities for surgery navigation remain limited due to poor biocompatibility and tumor targeting specificity. Herein, we present a small-molecule near-infrared fluorescence/magnetic resonance (NIRF/MR) imaging probe, Gd-NMC-3, covalently coupled with DCDSTCY and Gd-DOTA butane diamine, for precise detection and intraoperative visualization. The and studies demonstrated that Gd-NMC-3 could be effectively accumulated in tumor sites as a bimodal imaging molecule exhibiting significant fluorescence accumulation and reasonable relaxation property in tumors with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, Gd-NMC-3 was successfully applied to provide real-time visual navigation in LM3 orthotopic and subcutaneous tumor models to guide the resection of tumors. Importantly, no more fluorescence was observed in mice after operation, implying the total removal of tumor tissues. In conclusion, Gd-NMC-3 has great potential to be applied in the clinic based on its high resolution and sensitivity in tumor imaging.

Breast-conserving surgery accompanied by adjuvant radiotherapy is the standard of care for patients with early-stage breast cancer. However, re-excision is reported in 20-30 % of cases, largely because of close or involved tumor margins in the specimen. Several intraoperative tumor margin assessment techniques have been proposed to overcome this issue, however, none have been widely adopted.

Cervical cancer, the most common gynecological malignancy, significantly and adversely affects women's physical health and well-being. Traditional surgical interventions and chemotherapy, while potentially effective, often entail serious side effects that have led to an urgent need for novel therapeutic methods. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising approach due to its ability to minimize damage to healthy tissue.

Molecular recognition and detection of small bioactive molecules, like neurotransmitters, remain a challenge for chemists, whereas nature found an elegant solution in form of protein receptors. Here, we introduce a concept of a dynamic artificial receptor that synergically combines molecular recognition with dynamic imine bond formation inside a lipid nanoreactor, inducing a fluorescence response. The designed supramolecular system combines a lipophilic recognition ligand derived from a boronic acid, a fluorescent aldehyde based on push-pull styryl pyridine and a phenol-based catalyst.

In this study, a supramolecular fluorescent material was constructed by using double-cavity twisted cucurbit[14]uril (tQ[14]) and positively charged Astrazon Pink FG (APFG) based on the non-covalent host-guest interaction for the first time. The thermodynamic parameters of the APFG@tQ[14] in aqueous solution were determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), the results indicated that the spontaneous assembly of APFG@tQ[14] is mainly driven by enthalpy. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect induced the APFG@tQ[14] probe to emit a strong orange-red fluorescence.

Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are the end result of the irreversible, non-enzymatic glycation of proteins by reducing sugars. These chemical modifications accumulate with age and have been associated with various age-related and diabetic complications. AGEs predominantly accumulate on proteins with slow turnover rates, of which collagen is a prime example.
