Heptamethine indocyanines are invaluable probes for near-infrared (NIR) imaging. Despite
broad use, there are only a few synthetic methods to assemble these molecules, and each …

Near-fluorescent (NIR) dyes that absorb and emit light in the wavelength range of 650–1700
nm are well-suited for bioimaging due to the improved image contrast and increased …

Heptamethine cyanine dyes enable deep tissue fluorescence imaging in the near infrared
(NIR) window. Small molecule conjugates of the benchmark dye ZW800‐1 have been tested …

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a rapidly growing class of cancer therapeutics that
seek to overcome the low therapeutic index of conventional cytotoxic agents. However …

Fluorogenic probes in the near-infrared (NIR) region have the potential to provide stimuli-
dependent information in living organisms. Here, we describe a new class of fluorogenic …

Near-infrared II fluorescent probes targeting tumors for diagnostic purposes have received
much attention in recent years. In this study, a fluorescent probe for the NIR-II was …

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are a rapidly emerging therapeutic platform. The
chemical linker between the antibody and the drug payload plays an essential role in the …

Fluorescence molecular imaging plays a vital role in image‐guided surgery. In this context,
the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is an interesting biomarker enabling …

Enriching the palette of high-performance fluorescent dyes is vital to support the frontier of
biomedical imaging. Although various rhodamine skeletons remain the premier type of small …

Cyanine dyes are exceptionally useful probes for a range of fluorescence‐based
applications, but their photon output can be limited by trans‐to‐cis photoisomerization. We …
