Development of fluorescent probes for bioimaging applications

A unique approach toward near-infrared fluorescent probes for bioimaging with remarkably enhanced contrast

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes are attractive molecular tools for bioimaging because of their low autofluorescence interference, deep tissue penetration, and minimal damage to sample. However, most previously reported NIR probes exhibit small Stokes shift, typically less than 30 nm, and low fluorescence quantum yield, strictly limited contrast and spatial resolution for bioimaging. Here...

Highly emissive and biocompatible dopamine-derived oligomers as fluorescent probes for chemical detection and targeted bioimaging.

We prepared highly emissive and biocompatible dopamine-derived oligomers, and demonstrated their applications as novel fluorescent probes for sensitive detection of Fe(3+) ions and targeted bioimaging in live cells.

Two-Photon Chromophore-Polymer Conjugates Grafted onto Gold Nanoparticles as Fluorescent Probes for Bioimaging and Photodynamic Therapy Applications

Facile preparation and multifunctional applications of boron nitride quantum dots.

Boron nitride quantum dots are obtained by a facile sonication-solvothermal technique. They are proven to be promising fluorescent bioimaging probes for bioimaging with remarkably low cytotoxicity and easily integrated into high-performance proton exchange membranes. This work will probably trigger research interest in BN and its new applications in a variety of fields.

Fluorescent probes for hydrogen sulfide detection and bioimaging.

In comparison with other biological detection technologies, fluorescence bioimaging technology has become a powerful supporting tool for intracellular detection, and can provide attractive facilities for investigating physiological and pathological processes of interest with high spatial and temporal resolution, less invasiveness, and a rapid response. Due to the versatile roles of hydrogen sul...
