Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with
innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and …

In this review we will explore recent advances in the design and application of excited-state
intramolecular proton-transfer (ESIPT) based fluorescent probes. Fluorescence based …

In contrast to the classical design of a probe with one binding site to target one specific
analyte, probes with multiple interaction sites or, alternatively, with single sites promoting …

Ferroptosis is a cell death mode of lipid peroxidation caused by iron metabolism disorder
and redox imbalance, which is closely associated with the evolution of tumour and ischemia …

Fluorescent probes, as noninvasive tools for visualizing the metabolism of biomolecules,
hold great potential to explore their physiological and pathological processes. For cysteine …

Simple thiol derivatives, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH),
play key roles in biological processes, and the fluorescent probes to detect such thiols in …

Many of the key questions facing cellular biology concern the location and concentration of
chemical species, from signalling molecules to metabolites to exogenous toxins. Fluorescent …

Following a brief introduction to the principle of fluorescent PET (photoinduced electron
transfer) sensors and switches, the outputs of laboratories in various countries from the past …

Crown ethers, discovered by the winner of the Nobel Prize Charles Pedersen, are cyclic
chemical compounds that consist of a ring or multiple rings containing several ether groups …

The ability to monitor and quantify glutathione (GSH) in live cells is essential in order to gain
a detailed understanding of GSH‐related pathological events. However, owing to their …
