Owing to their unique optical properties and atomically precise structures, metal nanoclusters (MNCs) constitute a new generation of optical probe materials. This mini-review provides a brief overview of luminescence mechanisms and modulation methods of luminescent metal nanoclusters in recent years. Based on these photophysical phenomena, the applications of cluster-based optical probes in optical bioimaging and related sensing, disease diagnosis, and treatment are summarized. Some challenges are also listed at the end.
