Plasma membrane (PM), a phospholipid bilayer that separates the interior of cell from the
extracellular fluid, is closely involved in various cellular activities. However, monitoring …

Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have recently aroused enormous
attention, due to large anti-Stokes shifts, weak autofluorescence, less photodamage and …

Small-molecule biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione
(GSH), participate in various pathological and physiological processes. It is still a challenge …

Detection of H2S in the biological system has attracted enormous attention in recent years.
In this work, a new vinyl-functionalized metal–organic framework (MOF),[(Me2NH2) 2][Eu6 …

Luminescence chemosensors are one of the most useful tools for the determination and
