Trading up: A bioimaging system that is based on caged D-luciferin/upconversion nanoparticle conjugate has been developed. The nanoparticles upconvert near-infrared light into UV light, which triggers the photorelease of D-luciferin (see scheme) and leads to enhanced fluorescence and bioluminescence...
