Nowadays, it is still quite challenging to achieve an early diagnosis of the Alzheimer disease
(AD) in clinics. The burgeoning near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging fulfills the …

In this review, we have focused on the design and development of low molecular weight self-
assembling peptide-based materials for various applications including cell proliferation …

Each organelle referring to a complex multiorder architecture executes respective biological
processes via its distinct spatial organization and internal microenvironment. As the …

HJS and DHJS, two near-infrared emissive and mitochondria-targeted therapy probes, have
been designed. They exhibited photothermal & photodynamic cytotoxicity and aggregation …

There is evidence to suggest that the primary tumor induces the formation of a pre-metastatic
niche in distal organs by stimulating the production of pro-metastatic factors. Given the …

Glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide molecule, is the most abundant nonprotein biothiol in living
cells, playing a crucial role in preventing oxidative damage to cellular components and …

Self-assembly generates three-dimensional architectures through the non-covalent
interactions of building blocks of various sizes, ranging from nanometers to micrometers …

Sensitive and quantitative detection of prostate cancer (PC) requires a chemosensor with an
applicable sensing strategy. A star-shaped Schiff base triaminoguanidine-integrated …

Mitochondria are well known to serve as the powerhouse for cells and also the initiator for
some vital signaling pathways. A variety of diseases are discovered to be associated with …

Here, our designed water-soluble NIR fluorescent unsymmetrical Cy-5-Mal/TPP+ consists of
a lipophilic cationic TPP+ subunit that can selectively target and accumulate in a live-cell …
