“…[57] Macrocycles can specifically bind guest molecules through host-guest interactions, leading to novel properties and applications in catalysts, biomacromolecular recognition, drug delivery, light-harvesting systems (LHSs), and room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials. [58] Macrocyclic amphiphiles (MCAs), [59] constructed from macrocyclic hosts, have attracted the attention of researchers because of their unique advantages in self-assembly systems. This class of molecules can be classified as amphiphilic and have host-guest recognition sites.…”

Supramolecular luminescent nano‐assemblies for cell imaging have recently attracted increasing interest, not only because of their outstanding photophysical properties, but also because of their easy fabrication through supramolecular strategies, good biocompatibility, high stability to photo‐ and micro‐environments in cells, and facile combination of imaging and synergistic therapy for cancers. Luminescence‐based bioimaging has great advantages, such as high sensitivity, being non‐invasive, and functioning in real‐time, leading to its wide application in many fields, including disease research, drug research, cell markers, gene expression, gene function studies, and protein interaction. In this Review, recent progress in the application of macrocycle‐mediated (e.g., cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, calixarenes, and pillar[n]arenes) and functionalized amphiphilic molecule‐based supramolecular luminescent nanoparticles in cell imaging, especially targeted cell imaging of specific organelles, is reviewed. The combination of imaging with drug delivery, gene delivery, and photodynamic therapy is also introduced.

“…[146] Different from directly embedding electrodes, optical control methods allow remote, noncontact, and precise stimulation of cellular constructs, that have quite high flexibility in dynamic controlling of robots, meaning these methods have high spatial and temporal resolution. [147][148][149][150][151][152][153] For engineering cells to respond to light stimuli, the cell sources are usually modified with gene fragments that express photosensitive proteins by gene transfection. Usually, optogenetically modified cardiomyocytes are used as actuation cells.…”

Responsive biohybrid systems have the potential to overcome limitations of both natural and artificial machines in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and functionality. As functional units, living cells act as bricks for building biohybrid machines, where the extracellular matrix mimics hydrogels to act as ideal biological concrete. Combining living cells with hydrogels offers unique advantages in simulating human tissues or organs, which unleashes the future of biohybrid systems, and thus has attracted extensive attention. Herein, recent progress in cell‐laden hydrogel‐based responsive biohybrid systems is summarized to provide a basic understanding of how these systems are built from the bottom up and how to achieve the complex functions. This review focuses on advanced manufacturing technologies for responsive biohybrid systems, including laden cells in hydrogel matrices, three‐dimensional bioprinting, and microfluidic manufacturing. Subsequently, the innovative applications of these works, including actuators, sensors, and engineered functional materials, are presented, along with different triggering mechanisms that are highlighted. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities in the field are addressed. This review provides a unique perspective and is hoped to inspire fields such as biohybrid technologies, soft robots, and tissue engineering.

“…[19][20][21][22][23] Ratiometric fluorescent probes, particularly based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), can offer fluorescence intensity changes at two or more wavelengths of an excitation or emission spectrum, providing self-calibration without external interference and significantly improving detection reliability. [24][25][26][27][28][29] The well-defined structure, ultrahigh surface area, and high porosity of MOFs make them promising platforms for integrating the FRET pairs. [30][31][32] Although there have been some recent reports on MOF-based ratiometric fluorescence probes, [33][34][35] their FRET-integrated design and further applications in bacteria detection are still in an immature primary stage.…”
