MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as essential biomarkers for disease diagnosis, and several techniques are available to determine type 2 diabetes (T2D) relevant miRNAs. However, detecting circulating miRNAs can be challenging due to their small size, low abundance, and high sequence similarity, often requiring sensitive detection approaches combined with additional amplification processes. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a classic analytical method suitable for sensitively detecting trace amounts of nucleotide acid. Duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-mediated amplification recently gained attention due to its catalytic activity based on target recycling, demonstrating a promising approach for miRNA amplification. This work developed a novel N-annulated perylene fluorescent dye to create a biosensor to analyze the miRNA (miR-223) relevant to T2D. The amine-reactive fluorescent dye assists the amidation reaction for nucleotide labeling, giving the oligonucleotide probe a high fluorescence quantum yield and sufficient water solubility. By combining the locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified oligonucleotide fluorescent probe to enhance the stability of LNA/RNA hybrids, thereby improving the DSN-mediated target miR-223 recycling for signal amplification, the proposed biosensor can highly selectively determine miR-223 with a limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) of 9.5 pM. When applied to real-world samples, the biosensor demonstrated its potential to distinguish between T2D patients and healthy controls.

Cyanine dye-containing nanoparticles have widely been used in "all-in-one" NIR fluorescence imaging (FI)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) because of their intrinsically large extinction coefficient and available physical and chemical modulation methods to tune absorption and emission wavelengths. The combination of good brightness and excellent tumor-targeting capacity is the key to realize efficient NIR-II FI-guided PTT. In this study, by covalently decorating NIR-II absorptive cyanine dyes with bulky AIE motify, we demonstrate how steric hindrance suppresses π-π stacking-induced fluorescence quenching and contributes to the good brightness of NIR-II FI of subcutaneous glioblastoma.

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared fluorescent dye widely used for intraoperative navigation during liver surgeries because of its non-radioactive nature, high safety, and minimal impact on liver function. However, variability in its dosage and concentration and its low imaging success rates have limited its widespread application. To address these issues, we developed a novel ICG-human serum albumin (ICG-HSA) complex to enhance fluorescence visualization during laparoscopic anatomical liver resection.

Many industries use copper metal ions (Cu ions), and their salts are utilized as supplemental materials in both agriculture and medicine. Identifying and monitoring these Cu ions in biological and environmental specimens is crucial due to their association with several health issues. In this investigation, we have designed a simple quinoline-based receptor (E)-3-(((2,4-di-tert-butyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)-6-methoxyquinolin-2(1H)-one (QAP) containing imine functional groups to inspect its capability to identify metal ions in a semi-aqueous medium.

The present work focuses on the photophysical behavior of meso-N-butylcarbazole-substituted BODIPY (CBZ-BDP) in different organized media towards exploring the possible use of the dye as a molecular sensor and imaging agent. The molecule shows an appreciable change in absorption and emission spectra at 75% water-acetonitrile mixture compared to pure acetonitrile. In water-acetonitrile mixture, it displays aggregate-induced emission (AIE) bands.
