Squaraine dyes are a class of organic dyes with strong and narrow absorption bands in the
near-infrared. Despite high molar absorptivities and fluorescence quantum yields, these …

Herein, we report the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of novel Near Infra-Red
(NIR) pentamethine cyanine dyes, as potential photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy …

Mucin-type glycoproteins are the principal components of mucus which cover all the
mucosal surfaces of the human body. The mucus and mucins are essential mediators of the …

Proteins are essential constituents of living organisms. The increased development of
fluorescent probes with proper selectivity offers opportunities to explore the roles of proteins …

A glycol nanomedicine based on a metal-coordination supramolecular self-assembly
strategy of GluCC (a copper complex of glucose modified coumarin derivative) and a …

Squaraine dyes have excellent photostability with intensive absorption and strong
fluorescence in the near-infrared (NIR) region. However, they display a strong tendency to …

A GLUTs/GSH cascade targeting-responsive bioprobe, GluCC, was rationally designed and
synthesized for the first time via the coordination of copper ions with a glucose-modified …

Colorectal cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Histologic diagnosis
using biopsy samples of colorectal neoplasms is the most important step in determining the …

Fluorescent tracers for glucose-uptake monitoring could be used as chemical tools for
diagnosis and for discovery of novel therapeutic agents via the development of phenotypic …

Squaraine dyes are potential photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to their
ability to release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cause DNA damage. For this reason …
