چکیده
Dual-color photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles are designed based on ligand-protected gold nanoclusters, which exhibit a highly reversible switching ratio and can effectively distinguish dynamic/static fluorescence signals at sub-cellular levels.

Dual-Modality, Dual-Functional Nanoprobes for Cellular and Molecular Imaging
An emerging need for evaluation of promising cellular therapies is a non-invasive method to image the movement and health of cells following transplantation. However, the use of a single modality to serve this purpose may not be advantageous as it may convey inaccurate or insufficient information. Multi-modal imaging strategies are becoming more popular for in vivo cellular and molecular imagin...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Fluorescent Nanoprobes for in Vivo Optical Imaging
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes offer advantages of high photon penetration, reduced light scattering and minimal autofluorescence from living tissues, rendering them valuable for noninvasive mapping of molecular events, assessment of therapeutic efficacy, and monitoring of disease progression in animal models. This review provides an overview of the recent development of the design and ...
متن کاملPhotoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles and their emerging applications.
Although fluorescence offers ultrasensitivity, real-world applications of fluorescence techniques encounter many practical problems. As a noninvasive means to investigate biomolecular mechanisms, pathways, and regulations in living cells, the intrinsic heterogeneity and inherent complexity of biological samples always generates optical interferences such as autofluorescence. Therefore, innovati...
