In this Review article, we systematically summarize the design and applications of various
kinds of long-lived emissive probes for bioimaging and biosensing via time-resolved …

Most of the metal ions are carcinogens and lead to serious health concerns by producing
free radicals. Hence, fast and accurate detection of metal ions has become a critical issue …

Essential metals including iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) with known physiological
functions in human body play an important role in cell homeostasis. Excessive exposure to …

Neurodegenerative disorders are featured by a variety of pathological conditions that share
similar critical processes, such as oxidative stress, free radical activity, proteinaceous …

Several trace metals, including iron, copper, manganese and zinc are essential for normal

The redox-inert transition metal Zn is a micronutrient that plays essential roles in protein
structure, catalysis, and regulation of function. Inhalational exposure to ZnO or to soluble Zn …

Glutathione (GSH) is necessary for maintaining physiological antioxidant function, which is
responsible for maintaining free radicals derived from reactive oxygen species at low levels …

Zinc-induced neurotoxicity has been shown to play a role in neuronal damage and death
associated with traumatic brain injury, stroke, seizures, and neurodegenerative diseases …

P2X receptors are trimeric ATP-gated cation channels involved in physiological processes
ranging widely from neurotransmission to pain and taste signal transduction. The …

Zinc is the second most abundant metal in human and serves as an essential trace element
in the body. During the past decades, zinc has been found to play important roles in central …
