The genetically encoded fluorescent sensors convert chemical and physical signals into
light. They are powerful tools for the visualisation of physiological processes in living cells …

Zinc is an essential trace element that is crucial for growth, development, and the
maintenance of immune function. Its influence reaches all organs and cell types …

Zinc absorption in the small intestine is one of the main mechanisms regulating the systemic
homeostasis of this essential trace element. This review summarizes the key aspects of …

Cellular signaling networks are the foundation which determines the fate and function of
cells as they respond to various cues and stimuli. The discovery of fluorescent proteins over …

DNAzymes have been recognized as potent therapeutic agents for gene therapy, while their
inefficient intracellular delivery and insufficient cofactor supply precludes their practical …

Principle has it that even the most advanced super‐resolution microscope would be futile in
providing biological insight into subcellular matrices without well‐designed fluorescent …

The solution and complexation chemistry of zinc ions is the basis for zinc biology. In living
organisms, zinc is redox-inert and has only one valence state: Zn (II). Its coordination …

Significance: Metabolic syndrome is a frequent precursor of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), a
disease that currently affects∼ 8% of the adult population worldwide. Pancreatic beta-cell …

Zinc is a ubiquitous biological metal in all living organisms. The spatiotemporal zinc
dynamics in cells provide crucial cellular signaling opportunities, but also challenges for …

Zinc is involved in a variety of biological processes, as a structural, catalytic, and intracellular
and intercellular signaling component. Thus zinc homeostasis is tightly controlled at the …
