The expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is subject to developmental regulation and undergoes significant changes in neuropsychiatric disorders and diseases. Visualizing mGluR5 by fluorescence imaging is a highly desired innovative technology for biomedical applications. Nevertheless, there are substantial problems with the chemical probes that are presently accessible. In this study, we have successfully developed a two-photon fluorogenic probe, mGlu-5-TP, based on the structure of mGluR5 antagonist 6-methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP). Due to this antagonist-based probe selectively recognizes mGluR5, high expression of mGluR5 on living SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells has been detected during intracellular inflammation triggered by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Of particular significance, the probe can be employed along with two-photon fluorescence microscopy to enable real-time visualization of the mGluR5 in Aβ fiber-treated neuronal cells, thereby establishing a connection to the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). These results revealed that the probe can be a valuable imaging tool for studying mGluR5-related diseases in the nervous system.

A luminescent nanoprobe capable of orthogonal sensing of two independent events is highly significant for unbiased disease-related detection such as the detection of senescent cells. Moreover, it is invaluable that the nanoprobe possesses a two-photon excitable characteristic that is highly suitable for imaging living cells and tissues. Herein, we present a two-photon-excitable multiluminescent orthogonal-sensing nanoprobe (OS nanoprobe) capable of detecting both pH elevation and β-galactosidase (β-gal) overexpression in senescent cells.

Fluorogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIEgens) are promising agents for two-photon fluorescence (TPF) imaging. However, AIEgens' photophysical properties are fixed and unoptimizable once synthesized. Therefore, it is urgent and meaningful to explore an efficient post-regulation strategy to optimize AIEgens' photophysical properties.

Optical bioimaging is an ever-growing field that benefits both from the fast progress of optical instrumentation and modalities, and from the development of light-emitting probes. The efficacy of molecular fluorescent dyes is crucial, yet hindered by limited brightness and hydrophilicity. Addressing these challenges, self-stabilized fluorogenic organic nanoparticles only made of pure dyes (dFONs) are introduced in this work.
