The greatest advantage of activatable fluorescence probes (AFPs) is the inherent
responsiveness to manipulate spectroscopic properties by chemical/physical interactions …

Human beings are “machines” that use endogenously produced biomolecules as
“components” in signaling and for the maintenance of the body. These biomolecules consist …

Solvatochromic dyes enable sensing and imaging of biomolecular organization in living
systems by monitoring local polarity (lipophilicity), but most such dyes suffer from limited …

Stimuli-responsive fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles are widely used in bioimaging, anti-
counterfeiting and data encryption due to their advantages of simple preparation, good …

The incredible potential for fluorescent proteins to revolutionize biology has inspired the
development of a variety of design strategies to address an equally broad range of …

We introduce linear diblock copolymers (BCPs) consisting of readily accessable and
photoswitchable α-bisimine units in the polymer backbone. The BCPs are prepared via a …

Although intracellular biomarkers can be imaged with fluorescent dye (s)-labeled antibodies,
the use of such probes for precise imaging of intracellular biomarkers in living cells remains …

Fluorescent tools such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) have been used extensively as
reporters in biochemistry and microbiology, but GFP and other conventional fluorescent …

Human cellular retinol binding protein II (hCRBPII) was used as a protein engineering
platform to rationally regulate absorptive and emissive properties of a covalently bound …

Organelle-specific targeting enables increasing the therapeutic index of drugs and localizing
probes for better visualization of cellular processes. Current targeting strategies require …
