In their Feature Article, on page 3408 , Kan‐Yi Pu and Bin Liu highlight the recent advance of conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) in bioimaging applications. The specially designed CPEs with three‐dimensional size‐tunable nanoarchitectures can serve as bright, biocompatible, and photostable fluorescent imaging nanomaterials, allowing for in vitro intracellular protein sensing, cell detection, and in vivo cell imaging and drug tracking.
