Achieving purely organic room temperature phosphorescence in aqueous solution
Purely organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have aroused increasing interests in recent years and have been widely applied in anti‐counterfeiting, biological imaging, sensing, etc. Currently, these materials can be efficiently developed in crystalline states and amorphous polymer‐doped systems. However, achieving organic RTP in solution, especially in water solution, is still a formidable challenge. Recently, reports on aqueous phase RTP have been increasing and some feasible design strategies have been proposed; however, related investigations are still limited and there is a lack of systematic reviews. Therefore, we summarized the recent cases of aqueous phase organic RTP emission with primarily focusing on the RTP properties and efficient design strategies (e.g., forming nanoparticles from phosphorescent molecules and macrocyclic supramolecular assembly). Moreover, promising applications of the aqueous phase organic RTP emission in bio‐imaging and sensing were discussed. Some detailed perspectives concerning materials design and application were provided with the hope to provide inspiration for the future development of aqueous phase organic RTP. Graphical .

Room temperature phosphorescence materials based on small organic molecules: Design strategies and applications
Room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have attracted significant attention due to their applications in various fields such as information storage and encryption, organic light‐emitting diode (OLED), sensing, lighting and display, biological imaging, and photodynamic therapy. Traditionally, RTP materials can be efficiently developed using inorganic systems with noble metals or rare earth elements. Recently, many efforts have been devoted to the development of RTP materials based on small organic molecules. The strategies to construct RTP materials include hydrogen bonding, heavy atom effect, n–π* transitions, π–π stacking, donor–acceptor effect, and host–guest doping. Herein, we summarize the recent examples of RTP materials based on small organic molecules primarily focusing on their design strategies and properties. Moreover, their promising applications in information encryption, OLED, as well as bio‐imaging and phototherapy are discussed. The challenges and perspectives are given to provide inspiration toward the future development of organic RTP materials. This review summarizes the design strategies to construct room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials based on small organic molecules and their promising applications in information encryption, organic light‐emitting diode, as well as bio‐imaging and phototherapy.

Cyanostyryl‐Guanidiniocarbonyl‐Pyrrole Amphiphiles: From Aggregation‐Induced Emission to Photodimerization, Self‐Assembly, and Bioimaging
Two Cyanostyryl‐guanidiniocarbonyl‐pyrrole based amphiphiles are synthesized and examined in detail. In addition to achieving aggregation‐induced emission from self‐assembly, resulting in nanoparticles, it was found that the observed [2 + 2] photocycloaddition tunes the photophysical properties. The guanidiniocarbonyl‐pyrrole component of these hybrid luminophores is shown to bind oxo‐anions, such as pyrene‐tetracarboxylate, as confirmed by fluorescence lifetime measurements. Moreover, both amphiphiles are used in bio‐imaging experiments with HeLa cells, demonstrating effective cellular uptake. Amphiphiles with AIE properties, built on a novel luminophore containing an oxo‐anion binding motif, were synthesized and studied for self‐assembly in water. Carboxylate binding was verified by static quenching of a bound pyrene probe, and morphologies were analyzed by TEM, DLS, and ζ‐potential. Despite strong emission, UV light induced photodimerization, modifying photophysical properties and biocompatibility.

Real‐Time Detection of Reduced Nitroreductase with a Reversible Fluorescent Probe
Nitroreductase (NTR), a class of flavin‐dependent redox enzymes, is a key biomarker for hypoxic tumors. Numerous fluorescent NTR probes have been developed to study hypoxia and associated tumors; however, they are reaction‐based and provide only static information on the accumulated enzyme activity at a given time. Reversible binding probes are needed to monitor the enzyme level in real time. Here, the first reversible binding probe is presented that selectively detects the active, reduced form of NTR (red‐NTR) with a fluorescence turn‐on response. This probe, a benzocoumarin dye functionalized with a (nitrobenzyl)pyridinium moiety, is stabilized through hydrogen bonding between its nitro group and the reduced cofactor flavin mononucleotide (FMNH2). This interaction suppresses both the enzymatic reduction and fluorescence quenching by photoinduced electron transfer. The probe selectively distinguishes red‐NTR from its oxidized form (ox‐NTR), allowing the observation of active enzyme levels in hypoxic cells, mouse tumor tissues, and cells undergoing premature senescence. The probe offers a unique and valuable tool for studying dynamic biological processes involving NTR under redox homeostasis. The first reversible binding probe (rNTRp) is presented that selectively detects the nitroreductase enzyme's active, reduced form (red‐NTR) with a fluorescence turn‐on response. Contrary to the conventional reaction‐based probes known to date, which provide only static information on the accumulated enzyme activity at a given time, rNTRp allows monitoring the active enzyme level in real time.

Biomedical Applications of Gadolinium‐Containing Biomaterials: Not Only MRI Contrast Agent
The potential applications of rare earth elements (REEs) in biomedical fields have been intensively investigated. Numerous studies have shown that doping biomaterials with REEs can enhance their properties. Gadolinium (Gd) is a biocompatible REE that holds promise in biomedical applications. This review examines the use of Gd‐doped biomaterials in osteogenic, antimicrobial, anticancer applications, and in bioimaging and bioprobes, as reported in the literature until December 2024. The included studies demonstrate that Gd‐containing biomaterials promote osteogenesis, enhance antimicrobial properties, and perform well in anticancer applications and bioimaging. Taken together, they point to the considerable potential of Gd‐doped biomaterials and thus to avenues for future research. This paper summarizes the latest applications and potential mechanisms of the rare earth element gadolinium in biomedical fields, in addition to its traditional application as an MRI contrast agent, including osteogenesis, antimicrobial, antitumor, bioimaging, bioprobes, and so on. This review not only gives us a better understanding the application status of gadolinium in biomedical fields, but also provides some insights for the future application of gadolinium‐containing biomaterials in biomedical fields.

Recent advances in fluorescent probes of peroxynitrite: Structural, strategies and biological applications
Peroxynitrite (ONOO
), owing to its high oxidative and nitrating stress, is associated with several physiological processes in addition to various pathological processes, including those related to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Detection of ONOO
at the cellular level is of great significance to understand its pathogenesis. To this end, a variety of fluorescent probes based on small molecules and nanoparticles (NPs) have been engineered and applied as excellent tools for imaging of ONOO

Comparison of Three 3D Segmentation Software Tools for Hip Surgical Planning
In hip arthroplasty, preoperative planning is fundamental to reaching a successful surgery. Nowadays, several software tools for computed tomography (CT) image processing are available. However, research studies comparing segmentation tools for hip surgery planning for patients affected by osteoarthritic diseases or osteoporotic fractures are still lacking. The present work compares three different software from the geometric, dimensional, and usability perspectives to identify the best three-dimensional (3D) modelling tool for the reconstruction of pathological femoral heads. Syngo.via Frontier (by Siemens Healthcare) is a medical image reading and post-processing software that allows low-skilled operators to produce prototypes. Materialise (by Mimics) is a commercial medical modelling software. 3D Slicer (by slicer.org) is an open-source development platform used in medical and biomedical fields. The 3D models reconstructed starting from the in vivo CT images of the pathological femoral head are compared with the geometries obtained from the laser scan of the in vitro bony specimens. The results show that Mimics and 3D Slicer are better for dimensional and geometric accuracy in the 3D reconstruction, while syngo.via Frontier is the easiest to use in the hospital setting.
