Principle has it that even the most advanced super‐resolution microscope would be futile in
providing biological insight into subcellular matrices without well‐designed fluorescent …

Mitochondria accumulate copper in their matrix for the eventual maturation of the
cuproenzymes cytochrome c oxidase and superoxide dismutase. Transport into the matrix is …

All life forms have an absolute requirement for metals, as metals play critical roles in
fundamental processes, including osmotic regulation, catalysis, metabolism …

Chromogenic and fluorogenic probes may be described as the reagents that can interact
with analytes (targets) accompanied by the changes of their spectroscopic (chromogenic, or …

The potent redox activity of copper is required for sustaining life. Mismanagement of its
cellular pools, however, can result in oxidative stress and damage connected to aging …

Coordination chemistry plays an essential role in the design of photoluminescent probes for
metal ions. Metal coordination to organic dyes induces distinct optical responses which …

Since the middle ages, essential oils have been widely used for bactericidal, virucidal,
fungicidal, antiparasitical, insecticidal, medicinal and cosmetic applications, especially …

Tannins, also known as plant polyphenols (PPs), are secondary metabolites widely existing
in higher plants and are a kind of natural renewable resource with wide distribution, variety …

In this review, primary attention is given to the antioxidant (and prooxidant) activity of
polyphenols arising from their interactions with iron both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, an …

Hydroxyquinolines are heterocyclic compounds characterized by a moderate metal-binding
affinity. The interest in 8-hydroxyquinolines has grown exponentially in the last two decades …
