Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design and synthesis of fluorescent probes for bioimaging applications have seen significant advancements in recent years. These probes play a crucial role in visualizing and understanding biological processes at the molecular level. By utilizing these probes, researchers can track specific molecules, monitor cellular activities, and investigate disease mechanisms. The aim of this Special Issue of Molecules is to provide an updated and integrated focus on the development of advanced fluorescent probes, which has opened up new possibilities in diagnostic imaging, drug discovery, and basic biological research. Key considerations in the design process include brightness, photostability, specificity, and biocompatibility. This field continues to evolve, with ongoing efforts to create novel fluorescent probes with improved performance and expanded applications. This Special Issue’s scope is broad and includes the following areas: fluorescent probes for ions, peroxides, proteins, nucleic acids, and their applications in bioimaging.

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. Molecules 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.
