Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the discovery of the fluorescence-based sensing technique in the mid-1980s, it has expanded into several advanced fields, such as bioimaging, disease diagnosis, therapeutics, surgery, etc. In recent years, fluorescence-based techniques have become an indispensable tool to investigate biological systems due to their simplicity, cheap mode of operation, higher resolution, and noninvasiveness.

The objective of this Special Issue is to sketch an overview of recent trends in fluorescence-based sensing methods in biological applications. This issue will cover a broad field, starting from the development of fluorescent materials to their application in bioimaging, designing bioanalyte-selective probes and fluorescent tags for studying chemical biology, also monitoring inter/intracellular dynamics of analytes for disease diagnosis, therapeutics, and surgery. High-quality research articles demonstrating original scientific results and review articles summarizing outstanding features of this field are encouraged for submission to this Special Issue.

Potential topics are summarized below:

  • Chemiluminescence
  • One photon/multiphoton absorbing fluorescent materials
  • Fluorescence-based sensing
  • Fluorescent materials for organelle labeling
  • Fluorescent tags in exploring chemical biology
  • Fluorescent probes in disease diagnosis
  • Fluorescence-assisted monitoring of drug delivery
  • Fluorophores in photodynamic/photothermal therapy
  • Fluorescence imaging-guided surgery

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The identification of T and B lymphocytes has relied on using antibodies against different biomarkers as the gold standard. Emerging small molecule-based fluorescent probes have the potential to replace antibodies. Herein, we report the first human-T-cell-selective fluorescent probe, Mito thermo yellow (MTY), achieving the live T cells’ distinction from B cells, which was previously impossible without the help of antibodies. The unexpected cell selectivity of MTY is attributed to the higher mitochondria mass and membrane potential of T cells over B cells. This study enriches the toolbox for live cell distinction from complex cell communities. Full article
