TL;DR: These efforts place an emphasis on improvements in terms of low cytotoxicity, high photostability, near-infrared (NIR) emission, two-photon excitation, and long fluorescence lifetimes, which are crucial for long-time tracking of biological processes, tissue and body imaging with deep penetration and low autofluorescence, and time-resolved fluorescence imaging.

TL;DR: A B ODIPY-based HClO probe (BClO) with ultrasensitivity, fast response, and high selectivity, in which the pyrrole group at the meso position has an "enhanced PET" effect on the BODIPY fluorophore.

TL;DR: Review of chemical sensors developed for the detection of the first-row d-block metals (except Cu and Zn): Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni focuses on the development of fluorescent sensors, colorimetric sensors, and responsive MRI contrast agents for these transition metals.

TL;DR: Rlyso, a highly selective and sensitive pH sensor, can stain lysosomes with a novel lyssome-locating group, methylcarbitol, and was successfully used to detectLysosomal pH changes during apoptosis or induced by chloroquine while avoiding the "alkalizing effect" on lysoomes of current lysOSomal probes with nitrogen-containing sidechains.

TL;DR: Two fluorescence probes that contain conjugated allylidene-hydrazone ligands that link to colorless rhodamine-spirolactam have been developed and show that conjugations have a much better affinity toward Pd(2+), and consequently provide the probes with more acute color change and fluorescence enhancement and better selectivity over other metal ions.
