This minireview provides an overview of the recent advancements in the development of biomimetic Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) nanoparticles and their applications in disease diagnosis, phototherapy, and photoimmunotherapy. AIE nanoparticles can be engineered to enable efficient image-guided photodynamic and photothermal therapies, however, challenges related to immune defense and target specificity persist. To overcome these, coating biomimetic materials on the surface of AIE nanoparticles, which mimic the features and functions of native cells, have emerged as a promising solution. This minireview will highlight the synthesis strategies and discuss the biomedical application of biomimetic AIE nanoparticles.

Rapid, effective, and cost-effective methods for large-scale screening of pesticide residues in the environment and agricultural products are important for assessing potential environmental risks and safeguarding human health. Here, we constructed a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) electrochemical aptamer (Apt) sensor based on red-emissive sulfur quantum dots (SQDs), which aimed at the rapid screening and quantitative detection of malathion. SQDs were prepared using a two-step oxidation method with good electrochemiluminescence (ECL) optical properties.

In this contribution to the Orations - New Horizons of the Journal of Controlled Release, I present a personal perspective on the complexities of cancer nanomedicine and the approaches to master them. This oration draws mainly from my lab's journey to explore three transformative approaches to master complexities in the field: (1) leveraging text mining to construct dynamic knowledge bases for hypothesis generation in cell-specific drug delivery, (2) introducing the concept of meta-synergy to further optimize and classify multi-drug combinations across dimensions such as chemical loading, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics (3) utilizing automation to accelerate nanoparticle discovery with advanced screening methodologies such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE). I argue that by embracing complexity in nanomedicine, we can manifest new therapeutic possibilities, paving the way for more effective, precise, and adaptive treatment strategies.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials have gained significant attention for their unique fluorescence enhancement in the aggregated state. However, combining rigid polymers with AIE molecules to enhance luminescent properties remains to be investigated. In this work, two novel AIE-active polyarylethersulfone (PAES) derivatives are synthesized by incorporating tetraphenylethene (TPE) into either the side chain or main chain of PAES, resulting in side-chain polyarylethersulfone-tetraphenylethene (PAES-TPE) and main-chain polyarylethersulfone-tetraphenylethene (m-PAES-TPE), respectively.

A novel fluorescence sensing nanoplatform (CDs/AuNCs@ZIF-8) encapsulating carbon dots (CDs) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) within a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was developed for ratiometric detection of formaldehyde (FA) in the medium of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NHOH·HCl). The nanoplatform exhibited pink fluorescence due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect of AuNCs and the internal filtration effect (IFE) between AuNCs and CDs. Upon reaction between NHOH·HCl and FA, a Schiff base formed via aldehyde-diamine condensation, releasing hydrochloric acid.

Maxillofacial injuries that may cause severe functional and aesthetic damage require effective and immediate management due to continuous exposure to diverse microbial populations. Moreover, drug resistance, biofilm formation, and oxidative stress significantly impede timely bacterial removal and immune function, making the exploration of advanced materials for maxillofacial wound healing an appealing yet highly challenging task. Herein, a near-infrared photothermal sterilization agent was designed, encapsulated with liposomes and coated with ascorbic acid known for its antioxidant and immune-regulatory functions.
