Article Abstract
Fluoride ions (F) are one of the essential trace elements for the human body and are widely existed in nature. In this study, we present a novel fluorescent probe (YF-SZ-F) designed and synthesized for the specific detection of F. The probe exhibits high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and low cytotoxicity, making it a promising tool for biomedical applications. Imaging experiments conducted on zebrafish and Arabidopsis roots demonstrate the probe's remarkable cellular permeability and biocompatibility, laying a solid foundation for its potential biomedical utility. Furthermore, the probe holds potential for practical applications in environmental monitoring and public health through its capability to detect fluoride ions in water samples and via mobile phone software. This multifaceted functionality underscores the broad applicability and significance of the fluorescent probe, not only in scientific research but also in real-world scenarios, contributing to the development of more convenient and precise methods for fluoride detection.

Background: In neuroscience, Ca imaging is a prevalent technique used to infer neuronal electrical activity, often relying on optical signals recorded at low sampling rates (3 to 30 Hz) across multiple neurons simultaneously. This study investigated whether increasing the sampling rate preserves critical information that may be missed at slower acquisition speeds.
Methods: Primary neuronal cultures were prepared from the cortex of newborn pups.

The detection of highly toxic chemicals such as phosgene is crucial for addressing the severe threats to human health and public safety posed by terrorist attacks and industrial mishaps. However, timely and precise monitoring of phosgene at a low cost remains a significant challenge. This work is the first to report a novel fluorescent system based on the Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT) effect, which can rapidly detect phosgene in both solution and gas phases with high sensitivity by integrating a benzo[1,2-b:6,5-b']dithiophene-4,5-diamine (BDTA) probe.

In a search for dyes photoactivatable with visible light, fluorenes with substituents at positions 2 and 7 were prepared, and their absorption and emission spectra were studied. In particular, the synthesis route to 9-diazofluorenes with 2-(N,N-dialkylamino) and N-modified 7-(4-pyridyl) substituents was established. These compounds are initially non-fluorescent, undergo photolysis with UV or blue light, and-in non-polar media-provide orange- to red-emitting products with a large separation between absorption and emission bands.

In recent years, the near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence theranostic system has garnered increasing attention for its advantages in the simultaneous diagnosis- and imaging-guided delivery of therapeutic drugs. However, challenges such as strong background fluorescence signals and rapid metabolism have hindered the achievement of sufficient contrast between tumors and surrounding tissues, limiting the system's applicability. This study aims to integrate the pegylation strategy with a tumor microenvironment-responsive approach.
