Article Abstract
The development of novel assays to detect collagen fragments is of utmost importance for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic decisions in various collagen-related diseases, and one essential question is to discover probe peptides that can specifically recognize target collagen sequences. Herein we have developed the fluorescence self-quenching assay as a convenient tool to screen the capability of a series of fluorescent probe peptides of variable lengths to bind with target collagen peptides. We have revealed that the targeting ability of probe peptides is length-dependent, and have discovered a relatively short probe peptide FAM-G(POG) capable to identify the target peptide. We have further demonstrated that fluorescence self-quenching assay together with this short probe peptide can be applied to specifically detect the desired collagen fragment in complex biological media. Fluorescence self-quenching assay provides a powerful new tool to discover effective peptides for the recognition of collagen biomarkers, and it may have great potential to identify probe peptides for various protein biomarkers involved in pathological conditions.

To enhance the fluorescence properties of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for broader applications, we introduce flexibility-rigidity alternately assembled red fluorescent COFs, named COF-MA. Its uniquely wide layer spacing (7.054 Å) significantly reduces π-π stacking interactions, suppressing fluorescence self-quenching and boosting solid-state emission.

Multimodal imaging agents derived from plasmonic nanoparticles have great potential for medical diagnostics. To date, dual-mode Raman-fluorescence gold-based nanolabels have remained outside conformed in vivo studies. To overcome this lack, gold nanorods coated by a polymer shell with incorporated cyanine 7 and a bimodal optical response were prepared.

Quantum cutting (QC) materials still attract significant attention due to their high quantum and energy efficiencies, which stem from the effective utilization of the excitation energy. In this study, a one-to-three QC 1544 nm emission was first developed in an Er3+ single-doped Ca2ScSbO6 phosphor system. The Ca2ScSbO6 host was selected since it possesses moderate maximum-phonon energy, which suppresses non-radiative relaxation while maintaining phonon-assisted energy transfers between Er3+ ions.

Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules that play pivotal roles in various cellular functions such as signaling, immune responses, and metabolic regulation. While they are essential in normal physiological processes, excessive ROS accumulation leads to oxidative stress, which damages cellular structures, including lipids, proteins, and DNA, contributing to diseases like cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disorders. Therefore, the development of effective detection strategy for the selective detection of ROS, particularly superoxide (O) and hypochlorite (ClO), is crucial for understanding their roles in cellular processes.

Background: Human β-galactosidase (β-gal) is a lysosomal enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of glycoconjugates, which is overexpressed in primary ovarian cancers and regarded as a biomarker. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop fluorescent probes activatable by endogenous β-gal with strong signal-to-background contrast to facilitate ovarian cancer diagnosis. Many of the available probes suffer from small Stokes shifts, poor cellular permeability, easy diffusion away from living cells, and self-quenching when accumulated inside the lysosome, asking for the development of new turn-on probes suitable for non-invasive imaging with living cells.
