dioxide derivatives (SO32−/HSO3−) are thought to underlie the hippocampal neuronal
apoptosis in epilepsy. We have designed and synthesized a mitochondria-targeted
polydopamine nanoprobe for visualizing endogenous SO32−/HSO3− by the nucleophilic
addition reaction. The nanoprobe was used for imaging SO2 derivatives both in the
mitochondria of cultured cells and zebrafish, and successfully applied in the hippocampus of …
