The liver plays a crucial role in several important processes in the human body, including metabolism, detoxification, and immune function. When the liver experiences acute injury, it can cause significant harm and requires prompt detection. Traditional biomarkers lack specificity and cannot detect changes in real-time, making them unsuitable for monitoring pathological processes. Recent studies have shown that acute liver injury (ALI) is closely related to oxidative stress, with peroxynitrite (ONOO) being a vital byproduct of liver metabolism and become a critical biomarker for detecting liver damage. As a result, this research developed an activatable near-infrared fluorescent probe W-3a that can be used to detect endogenous ONOO in a mouse model of ALI induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The probe has high selectivity and anti-interference ability, with a reaction time <10 min and a detection limit of 85 nM. It was successfully utilized in detecting endogenous ONOO in cells and live imaging of ALI mice.

Single cell Ca imaging is essential for the study of Ca channels activated by various stimulations like temperature, voltage, native compound and chemicals et al. It primarily relies on microscopy imaging technology and the related Ca indicator Fura-2/AM (AM is the abbreviation for Acetoxymethyl ester). Inside the cells, Fura-2/AM is hydrolyzed by esterases into Fura-2, which can reversibly bind with free cytoplasmic Ca.

Environmental contamination by pharmaceuticals has become a matter of concern as they are released in sewage systems at trace levels, thus impacting biological systems. Increasing concerns about the low-level occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment demands sensitive and selective monitoring. Owing to their high sensitivity and specificity carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as suitable fluorescent sensors.

Detecting biothiols like glutathione (GSH), homocysteine (Hcy), and cysteine (Cys) is key to understanding their roles in health and disease. We developed BT-DNBS, a cyanine-based turn-on fluorescent probe with a dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) quencher group. Upon biothiol interaction, the quencher is cleaved, restoring fluorescence.

Fluorogenic probes containing the β-ketoester structure were developed for selective hydrazine detection. The probe equipped with a cyclopropane moiety, having reduced steric hindrance, showed a higher reaction rate than its dimethyl counterpart. In live cell imaging, the probe detects intracellular hydrazine with minimal cytotoxicity.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which play critical roles in regulating gene expression and cell functions, are recognized as potential biomarkers for various human diseases, including gastric ulcers. The reliable, specific, and sensitive detection of miRNA is highly recommended for the clinical diagnosis and therapy of different diseases. Herein, we depict a label-free and low-background fluorescent assay for the highly sensitive detection of miRNAs by coupling target miRNA-triggered cyclization of a padlock, circular padlock-mediated catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), and primer exchange reaction (PER)-assisted signal generation.
