Noninvasive molecular imaging makes the observation and comprehensive understanding of complex biological processes possible. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a fast evolving hybrid imaging technology enabling in vivo imaging with high sensitivity and spatial resolution in deep tissue. Among the various probes developed for PAI, genetically encoded reporters attracted increasing attention of researchers, which provide improved performance by acquiring images of a PAI reporter gene’s expression driven by disease-specific enhancers/promoters. Here, we present a brief overview of recent studies about the existing photoacoustic reporter genes (RGs) for noninvasive molecular imaging, such as the pigment enzyme reporters, fluorescent proteins and chromoproteins, photoswitchable proteins, including their properties and potential applications in theranostics. Furthermore, the challenges that PAI RGs face when applied to the clinical studies are also examined.

Luminescence bioimaging is widely used for noninvasive monitoring of biological targets in real-time with high temporal and spatial resolution. For efficient bioimaging in vivo, it is essential to develop smart organic dye platforms. Fluorescein (FL), a traditional dye, has been widely used in the biological and clinical studies. However, visible excitation and emission limited their further application for in vivo bioimaging. Nearinfrared (NIR) dyes display advantages of bioimaging because of their minimum absorption and photo-damage to biological samples, as well as deep tissue penetration and low auto-luminescence from background in the living system. Thus, some great developments of near-infrared fluorescein-inspired dyes have emerged for bioapplication in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we highlight the advances in the development of the near-infrared chemodosimeters for detection and bioimaging based on the modification of fluoresceininspired dyes naphtho-fluorescein (NPF) and cyanine-fluorescein (Cy-FL).

High-resolution optical imaging of deep tissue in-situ such as the living brain is fundamentally challenging because of the aberration and scattering of light. In this work, we develop an innovative adaptive optics three-photon microscope based on direct focus sensing and shaping that can accurately measure and effectively compensate for both low- and high-order specimen-induced aberrations and recover near-diffraction-limited performance at depth. A conjugate adaptive optics configuration with remote focusing enables in vivo imaging of fine neuronal structures in the mouse cortex through the intact skull up to a depth of 750 um below pia, making high-resolution microscopy in cortex near non-invasive. Functional calcium imaging with high sensitivity and accuracy, and high-precision laser-mediated microsurgery through the intact skull were demonstrated. Moreover, we also achieved in vivo high-resolution imaging of the deep cortex and subcortical hippocampus up to 1.1 mm below pia within the intact brain.
