Although transition metals constitute less than 0.1% of the total mass within a human body,
they have a substantial impact on fundamental biological processes across all kingdoms of …

Viscosity has become increasingly important in biological systems, especially as a major
factor in the process of diffusion control. The abnormality of viscosity is closely related to the …

The last three decades have brought a revolution in fluorescence microscopy. The
development of new microscopes, fluorescent labels and analysis techniques has pushed …

Molecular activatable probes with near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence play a critical role in in
vivo imaging of biomarkers for drug screening and disease diagnosis. With structural …

Small-molecule based fluorescent probes are increasingly important for the detection and
imaging of biological signaling molecules due to their simplicity, high selectivity and …

Metal cations and anions are essential for versatile physiological processes. Dysregulation
of specific ion levels in living organisms is known to have an adverse effect on normal …

Optical imaging plays a crucial role in biomedicine. However, due to strong light scattering
and autofluorescence in biological tissue between 650–900 nm, conventional optical …

Optical imaging probes allow us to detect and uncover the physiological and pathological
functions of an analyte of interest at the molecular level in a non-invasive, longitudinal …

Afterglow imaging that detects photons after cessation of optical excitation avoids tissue
autofluorescence and thus possesses higher sensitivity than traditional fluorescence …
