It is now evident that the cell manipulates lipid composition to regulate different processes
such as membrane protein insertion, assembly and function. Moreover, changes in …

Viscosity is a key characteristic of lipid membranes–it governs the passive diffusion of
solutes and affects the lipid raft formation and membrane fluidity. Precise determination of …

Subcellular membranes have complex lipid and protein compositions, which give rise to
organelle-specific membrane packing, fluidity, and permeability. Due to its exquisite solvent …

New chromophores carrying a donor phenolate group and an acceptor pyridyl moiety
separated by a fluorene spacer are reported. A progressive elongation of the systems was …

The structural diversity of different lipid species within the membrane defines its biophysical
properties such as membrane fluidity, phase transition, curvature, charge distribution, and …

Intracellular RNA imaging with organic small molecular probes has been an intense topic,
although the number of such reported dyes, particularly dyes with high quantum yields and …

The plasma membrane, as a highly complex cell organelle, serves as a crucial platform for a
multitude of cellular processes. Its collective biophysical properties are largely determined …

Herein, we discuss a new pyrene-based push–pull dye (PC) and our investigation of its
photophysical properties and applicability to biological studies. The newly synthesized dye …

Insulin balls, localized insulin amyloids formed at the site of repeated insulin injections in
patients with diabetes, cause poor glycemic control and cytotoxicity. Our previous study has …

The efficient investigation of biological membranes is a constant demand in chemical
biology. Several families of Near Infra‐Red (NIR) dyes have been already studied for the …
