Article Abstract
Hypochloric acid (HOCl) plays a vital role in the natural defense system, but abnormal levels of it can cause cell damage, accelerated human aging, and various diseases. It is of great significance to develop new probes for detecting HOCl in biosystems nondestructively and noninvasively. The purpose of this work is to explore new chemical modification strategies of two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) probes to improve the poor water solubility and low efficiency in imaging applications. has a two-photon absorption cross-section value as high as 243 GM and attains a good quantum yield of 0.49. In addition, the modification of terminal groups with different azetidine-heterospirocycles or ,-dialkyl fused amino groups to Nile Red can effectively improve the fluorescence efficiency as well as increase the solubility to some extent. This study provides some strategies to simultaneously improve the fluorescence performance and solubility of these two-photon probes and, hence, reliable guidance and a foundation for the subsequent synthesis of TPEF probes based on Nile Red.

Silkworms are emerging as a sustainable food source to address global food security, with their proteins recognized for nutritional and medicinal benefits. However, the impact of silkworm oil on immunological and pharmacological effects remains unexplored. This study explores the effects of the muga (Antheraea assamensis Helfer) silkworm pupal oil fraction (MP) on palmitic acid (PA) induced hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

A series of novel 3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole derivatives were rationally designed, synthesized and evaluated for their biological activity as AcrB inhibitors. The compounds were assessed for their antibiotic potentiating effects, followed by evaluation of Nile Red efflux inhibition, and off-target effects including activity on the outer and inner bacterial membranes. Ten compounds potentiated antibiotic activity at sub-inhibitory concentrations, reducing the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of at least one of the tested antibiotics by at least 8-fold, with three derivatives (7c, 11g, and 11i) achieving 32-fold MIC reductions at 128 μg/mL.

In this study, Cyprinus carpio nudus were exposed for 2 weeks to polyethylene microplastics (MPs) of two particle sizes (125 μm and 34 μm) at concentrations of 0, 40, 80, 160, 320, and 640 ppm. The experiment involved 11 treatment groups, each with triplicate tanks, and evaluated MPs accumulation in tissues, hematological profiles, plasma components, and antioxidant responses. Accumulation in the gill, intestine, and liver were quantified using Nile red staining and fluorescence microscopy, showing the highest accumulation in the intestine, followed by the gill and liver, with smaller MPs accumulated significantly more than larger MPs.

The development of "smart" polymers capable of responding to physiologically relevant stimuli is essential for engineering dynamic sensing and actuation systems that leverage biological signals under specific (patho)physiological conditions. In this study, we present a general and versatile strategy to engineer novel stimuli-responsive behaviors in temperature-responsive protein-based polymers (PBPs) site-specific conjugation with self-immolative molecules. Specifically, we developed hydrogen peroxide (HO)- and β-galactosidase (β-gal)-responsive elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) and resilin-like polypeptides (RLPs).

Circularly polarized room-temperature phosphorescent (CP-RTP) materials have been attracting great attention due to their potential applications in anticounterfeiting. In this study, we designed and synthesized a host-guest copolymer () with strong phosphorescence emission and a long emission lifetime using a self-doping strategy. The co-assembled liquid crystal polymer networks / doped with demonstrated a stronger RTP emission and longer lifetime (τ = 148 ms).
