Native fluorescence, or autofluorescence (AF), consists in the emission of light in the UV-
visible, near-IR spectral range when biological substrates are excited with light at suitable …

Organisms belonging to all life kingdoms may have the natural capacity to fluoresce.
Autofluorescence events depend on the presence of natural biomolecules, namely …

The molecular exciton model has received its mostextensive development and application in

Boradiazaindacene dyes were converted into phenylethynyl-BODIPY oligomers via a cycle
of reactions, notably including Sonogashira couplings. As expected, as the number, n, of …

Phototherapy is a standard treatment for severe neonatal jaundice to remove toxic bilirubin
from the blood. Here, the wavelength-dependent photochemistry of vinylneoxanthobilirubic …

Bilirubin (BR) is an essential metabolite formed by the catabolism of heme. Phototherapy
with blue-green light can be applied to reduce high concentrations of BR in blood and is …

Excitation at 366–465 nm of bilirubin in aqueous solution with solubilizing agents results in
emission spectra composed by two main bands. The variation of their relative contributions …

Background and Objective Autofluorescence (AF) based optical biopsy of liver tissue is a
powerful approach for the real‐time diagnosis of its functionality. Since increasing attention …

The photochemistry of bilirubin has been extensively studied due to its importance in the
phototherapy of hyperbilirubinemia. In the present work, we investigated the ultrafast …

Bilirubin (BR) is the main end-product of the hemoglobin catabolism. For decades, its
photophysics has been mainly discussed in terms of ultrafast deactivation of the excited …
