An activatable BODIPY probe for in vitro detection and fluorescence cell imaging of free Mg without interference from Ca is described. Fluorescence amplification of the probe is observed upon detection of physiological concentrations of Mg due to reduced rotation of the fluorophore and effective chelation by a quinolizine-based core.

Early diagnosis of tumors allows effective treatment of primary cancers through localized therapeutic interventions. However, developing diagnostic tools for sensitive, simple, and early tumor (especially less than 2 mm in diameter) detection remains a challenge. Herein, we presented a biomarker-activatable nanoprobe that enabled a near-infrared (NIR) photothermally amplified signal for fluorescence imaging and urinalysis of tumor.

Real-time visualization of endogenous enzymes not only helps reveal the underlying biological principles but also provides pathological information for cancer/disease diagnosis and even treatment guidance. To this end, enzyme-activatable fluorescence probes are frequently fabricated that turn their fluorescence signals "on" exclusively at the enzyme-rich region, thus enabling noninvasive and real-time imaging of enzymes of interest at the molecular level with superior sensitivity and selectivity. However, in a complex biological context, commonly used single enzyme-activatable (i.

Intracellular monitoring of protein ubiquitination and differentiating polyubiquitin chain topology are crucial for understanding life processes and drug discovery, which is challenged by the high complexity of the ubiquitination process and a lack of molecular tools. Herein, a synthetic dual-sensor platform specific for K48-linked ubiquitin oligomers was tailored for visualization of polyubiquitin chain assembling in live biosystems. This is achieved using macrocyclic peptides as recognition motifs and a tetraphenylethylene derivative as an activatable reporter.

Organic red/near-infrared (NIR) room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) holds significant potential for autofluorescence-free bioimaging and biosensing due to its prolonged persistent luminescence and exceptional penetrability. However, achieving activatable red/NIR organic RTP probes with tunable emission in aqueous solution remains a formidable challenge. Here we report on aqueous organic RTP probes with red/NIR phosphorescence intensity and lifetime amplification.

The recurrent breast cancer (BC) has elicited significant concern due to its rising recurrence rates and associated mortality. However, there is currently no effective detection method to mitigate the deterioration of BC recurrence. The imbalance of HClO content could lead to oxidative stress in the body, which damaging host tissues.
