In this review we will explore recent advances in the design and application of excited-state
intramolecular proton-transfer (ESIPT) based fluorescent probes. Fluorescence based …

Copper homeostasis is strictly regulated by protein transporters and chaperones, to allow its
correct distribution and avoid uncontrolled redox reactions. Several studies address copper …

Copper is an essential element in cells; it can act as either a recipient or a donor of
electrons, participating in various reactions. However, an excess of copper ions in cells is …

Small-molecule fluorescent probes are attractive and versatile materials for studying
biological systems.(1-6) They can be easily loaded into cells and rapidly detect biological …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are conserved across species and are important in stress
tolerance. Many sHsps exhibit chaperone-like activity in preventing aggregation of target …

The epidemiological correlation between copper exposure and higher risk of Parkinson
disease (PD) has been recognized for a long time, and microglia-mediated …

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent cause of cognitive impairment
and dementia worldwide. The pathobiology of the disease has been studied in the form of …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) 1− 3 is the most common form of dementia (estimated∼ 50− 60%
of all cases), associated with loss of memory (in particular episodic memory), cognitive …

Two cyanoimidazopyridine-based sensors (SS1 and SS2) were explored for the colorimetric
and fluorometric detection of Fe2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+ ions in the semi-aqueous medium. The …

Heavy metal ions are of great concern, not only among the scientific community, especially
chemists, biologists, and environmentalists, but increasingly among the general population …
