Abstract Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as an attractive technique for the treatment of bacterial infections. However, uncontrolled heat generation in conventional PTT inevitably causes thermal damages to healthy tissues and/or organs. It is thus essential develop a smart and universal strategy regulate photothermal equilibrium temperature preset safe threshold. Herein, thermoresponsive hydrogel‐enabled thermostatic system enhanced healing bacteria‐infected wounds reported. In this system, near‐infrared (NIR)‐triggered by nanomaterials spontaneously transferred hydrogel with lower critical solution (LCST), leading its rapid phase transition forming considerable light‐scattering centers block NIR penetration. Such dynamic reversible process automatically regulates phase‐transition point LCST‐type hydrogel. contrast temperature‐uncontrolled severe damages, provides effective protection on organs, which remarkably accelerates wound efficient eradication.

Cationic photosensitizers have good binding ability with negatively charged bacteria and fungi, exhibiting broad applications potential in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). However, cationic often display unsatisfactory transkingdom selectivity between mammalian cells pathogens, especially for eukaryotic fungi. It is unclear which biomolecular sites are more efficient damage, owing to the lack of systematic research same photosensitizer system. Herein, a series aggregation-induced emission (AIE) derivatives (CABs) (using berberine (BBR) as core) different length alkyl chains successfully designed synthesized flexible modulation cellular activities. The BBR core can efficiently produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) achieve high-performance aPDT . Through precise regulation chain length, bindings, localizations, killing effects CABs achieved investigated systematically among bacteria, cells. found that intracellular active substances, not membranes, damage aPDT. Moderate enable effectively kill Gram-negative fungi light, while still maintaining excellent cell blood compatibility. This study expected provide theoretical strategic guidance construction selectivity.
