Article Abstract
In this study, we developed a two-photon fluorescent probe for detection of peroxynitrite (ONOO) near the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. This naphthalimide-based probe contains a boronic acid reactive group and an ifenprodil-like tail, which serves as an NMDA receptor targeting unit. The probe displays high sensitivity and selectivity, along with a fast response time in aqueous solution. More importantly, the probe can be employed along with two-photon fluorescence microscopy to detect endogenous ONOO near NMDA receptors in neuronal cells as well as in hippocampal tissues. The results suggest that the probe has the potential of serving as a useful imaging tool for studying ONOO related diseases in the nervous system.

In the field of theranostics, triaminophenaziniums are promising molecules due to their intrinsic properties such as an absorbance beyond 500 nm associated with large molar extinction coefficients, high fluorescence quantum yields, as well as phototoxicity. This study explored how three triaminophenazinium salts relate in structure and activity, highlighting their potential as theranostic agents. The nature of the moiety in position 2 of the dyes was varied from H, to -CH or -Bu.

A series of unsymmetrically substituted BODIPY dyes featuring fused benzo- or naphtho-fragments on one pyrrolic unit were synthesized from the corresponding pyrrolic precursors. The synthetic route was optimized using a modular approach based on the condensation of formylpyrroles with alkylpyrroles, enabling the identification of precursor combinations that minimize byproduct formation and improve preparative yields. The resulting benzo- and naphtho-fused BODIPYs display intense fluorescence in the red region, with emission maxima spanning 590-680 nm and fluorescence quantum yields ranging from 0.

Patient-derived cancer organoids (PDCOs) are a valuable model to recapitulate human disease in culture with important implications for drug development. However, current methods for rapidly and reproducibly assessing PDCOs are limited. Label-free imaging methods are a promising tool to measure organoid level heterogeneity and rapidly screen drug response in PDCOs.

Background: Ultrasound-assisted transdermal drug delivery, or sonophoresis, enhances skin permeability, offering a non-invasive alternative for drug administration. However, its clinical application remains limited because of an insufficient understanding of its underlying mechanisms and optimal parameters. This study investigates the factors influencing ultrasound-enhanced drug absorption and examines its biological effects on skin structures and HaCaT cells, providing a comprehensive analysis of its mechanisms.

Synaptic plasticity plays a crucial role in the extinction of fearful memories. Low-intensity transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) can modulate synaptic plasticity and promote the extinction of fear memories. However, the mechanism by which TUS promotes the extinction of fear memory remains unclear.
