Fluorescent nanomaterials, self-assembled from building blocks through multiple intermolecular interactions show diversified structures and functionalities, and are potential fluorescence contrast agents/probes for high-performance biomedical imaging. Self-assembled nanomaterials exhibit high stability, long circulation time, and targeted biological distribution. This review summarizes recent advances of self-assembled nanomaterials as fluorescence contrast agents/probes for biomedical imaging. The self-assembled nanomaterials are classified into two groups, i.e., ex situ and in situ construction of self-assembled nanomaterials. The advantages of ex situ as well as in situ constructed nanomaterials for biomedical applications are discussed thoroughly. The directions of future developments for self-assembled nanomaterials are provided.
