Nanodiamond (ND) has emerged as an intriguing material in recent years both industrially
and in research. During the last decade, ND has furthered its way into the biomedical field …

Cyanine dyes are a class of organic, usually cationic molecules containing two nitrogen
centers linked through conjugated polymethine chains. The synthesis and reactivity of …

The light-promoted conversion of extensively used cyanine dyes to blue-shifted emissive
products has been observed in various contexts. However, both the underlying mechanism …

Illumination of fluorophores can induce a loss of the ability to fluoresce, known as
photobleaching. Interestingly, some fluorophores photoconvert to a blue-shifted fluorescent …

Cyanine (Cy) dyes are among the most useful organic fluorophores that have found a wide
range of applications in single-molecule and super-resolution imaging as well as in other …

Photomodulable fluorescent probes are drawing increasing attention due to their
applications in advanced bioimaging. Whereas photoconvertible probes can be …

Activation of caged fluorophores in microscopy has mostly relied on the absorption of a
single ultraviolet (UV) photon of≲ 400 nm wavelength or on the simultaneous absorption of …

Reliable cell labeling and tracking techniques are imperative for elucidating the intricate and
ambiguous interactions between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and tumors. Here, we …

We herein present a new concept to produce dual‐color photoconvertible probes based on
a mechanism called Directed Photooxidation Induced Conversion (DPIC). As a support of …

Dual‐emissive photoconvertible fluorophores (DPCFs) are powerful tools to unambiguously
track labeled cells in bioimaging. We recently introduced a new rational mechanism called …
