Body Size and Weight of Pill Bugs () Vary between Urban Green Space Habitats.

Rapid urban development poses a threat to global biodiversity. At the same time, urban green spaces offer opportunities for holding biodiversity in cities. Among biological communities, the soil fauna plays a crucial role in ecological processes but is often ignored.

A lysosome-targeting fluorescent probe to visualize endogenous and exogenous methylglyoxal in live cells and zebrafish.

The development of a lysosome-targeting fluorescent probe to visualize endogenous and exogenous methylglyoxal (MGO) in live cells has important implications for associated diseases. Herein, a lysosome-targeting fluorescent probe MGO-Naph-A was designed and synthesized to detect MGO with high selectivity. The probe contained naphthalimide as the fluorescent group, -phenylenediamine as the MGO recognition group, and morpholine as the lysosome targeting group.
