A typical AIE dye, TPE, was liquefied by attaching long and branched alkyl chains. The obtained liquid dye showed intense emission compared to the solid dye or TPE. The linkage between TPE and the alkyl chain led to significant difference in their photoluminescent and thermal properties.

Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is released by immune cells in the immune system, and it helps the body fight off infections and inflammation by killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. However, tissue damage or apoptosis may also be induced by excess HClO. On this basis, we designed the probe TPE-NS by choosing tetraphenylethylene (TPE) as the luminescent unit and dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride as the recognition site.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly aggressive diffuse malignant proliferative disease of the lymphatic system. Patients usually present with progressive lymph node enlargement and/or extra-lymph node lesions and require early treatment upon diagnosis. Most of the patients are in stage III or IV at the time of diagnosis and about 40% of the patients are difficult to cure.

Lipid droplets (LDs), once regarded as inert fat particles, have been ignored by scientific researchers for a long time. Now, studies have shown that LDs are dynamic organelles used to store neutral lipids in cells and maintain cell stability. The abnormality of intracellular LDs usually causes metabolic disorders in the body, such as obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer, so the LDs have attracted wide attention.

Thiol flavor compounds are a class of flavoring ingredients that contribute significantly to food flavor. However, rapid discrimination of multiple thiol-flavor compounds remain a challenge. In this study, a ratiometric fluorescent sensor (TPE-ssHPA@Cu NCs-Ce) with dual-channel fluorescence features was developed using tetraphenylethene-embedded hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) as a template to stabilize the copper nanocluster‑cerium ions.

Metal-biomolecule interactions that are ubiquitous in nature provide fundamental knowledge and rich structural motifs for the development of functional molecules and smart sensors. In this work, inspired by the active sites in metalloproteins, a biomimetic peptide sensor was designed for the selective recognition and activatable sensing of Hg in living biosystems. Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) with typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior, was introduced as the activatable signal transducer to enable high signal-to-background signaling.
