Abstract

Molecular photoswitches can undergo isomerization under light exposure, making them uniquely attractive for high spatiotemporal resolution remote control of biological functions. Visible and near‐infrared (NIR) light, with their low energy consumption, high safety, and strong tissue penetration, are particularly suitable for biological applications. Therefore, developing visible‐ and NIR light‐driven molecular photoswitches for biological use is of great significance. This review introduces the most common visible‐ and NIR light‐driven molecular photoswitches and presents the state‐of‐art of their applications in bioimaging, biosensing, drug delivery, photocontrolled cancer phototherapy, and photopharmacology. The opportunities and challenges of the photoswitches for their future development in biological applications are outlined.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
