“…To serve as a platform for opinions, the journal notably published three insightful viewpoints. Ran Xie and colleagues shared thoughts on the thrilling discovery of ARPLA (aptamer and RNA in situ hybridization-mediated proximity ligation assay) and highlighted the prospect for visualizing glycoRNA using this imaging toolbox. , Another viewpoint, contributed by Deju Ye and colleagues, focused on the recent research about radio afterglow dynamic luminophores called IDPAX, aiming at precise imaging and radiotherapy for deeply seated cancers. , Junfeng Wang and co-workers emphasized the immense potential of Ankyrons in target identification, disease diagnosis, and therapy, especially for molecular imaging . These concise yet profound viewpoints provide valuable insights into the latest advancements in chemical imaging, and we very welcome such articles to spark broader and active discussions.…”
