Fluorescent probes
Fluorescent probes have revolutionized the life sciences, and are widely used for the real-time detection, tracking and quantification of biomolecules in living cells. Their utility comes from their capacity to absorb light of a specific wavelength, and emit light of a slightly longer wavelength through fluorescence. They have a myriad of applications, from primary research to human diagnostics, and the field is ever-evolving, yielding probes with better sensitivity and photostability.
This Collection aims to celebrate fluorescent probes, and focus on fluorescent probe development, as well as those showcasing their application in furthering our understanding of biological processes and human diseases.
