Cover Story: Antibiotic overuse and drug-resistant strains are escalating global mortality associated with tumors and infectious diseases. This critical public health threat urgently necessitates advanced strategies for detecting and treating cancers and pathogenic microorganisms. Conjugated oligomers, formed by a limited number of repeating conjugated units linked through covalent bonds, exhibit high potential for various applications in biological monitoring and disease diagnosis due to their controllable molecular weight, precise molecular structure, and excellent photostability. In this review, we summarize recent advancements in the application of conjugated oligomers in imaging, cancer therapy, and antibacterial treatment. Furthermore, this article critically examines challenges in their biological application, underscoring the need for continued innovation. View this paper
