The microenvironment (local environment), including viscosity, temperature, polarity,
hypoxia, and acidic-basic status (pH), plays indispensable roles in cellular processes …

Viscosity has become increasingly important in biological systems, especially as a major
factor in the process of diffusion control. The abnormality of viscosity is closely related to the …

Small-molecule based fluorescent probes are increasingly important for the detection and
imaging of biological signaling molecules due to their simplicity, high selectivity and …

The environmental pollution has become a serious issue because the pollutants can cause
permanent damage to the DNA, nervous system, and circulating system, resulting in various …

Coumarin-based fluorogenic probes have emerged as preferred imaging tools to real-time
and non-invasively monitor target analyte (s) in biological systems, due to their inherent …

Near infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes have the advantages of low background interference,
strong tissue penetration and small tissue damage. Many fluorescent dyes, such as BODIPY …

There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify
selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from …

The past two decades have witnessed significant advances in the field of aggregation-
induced emission (AIE). Luminescent materials with AIE characteristics (AIEgens) are of …

Heavy metal ions present in water bodies are of great concern for human health, aquatic life,
and environmental sustainability. The heteroatoms present in small organic molecule-based …

In recent years, owing to unsatisfactory clinical imaging clarity and depths in the living body
for early diagnosis and prognosis, novel imaging modalities with high bioimaging …
