Hypoxia-Activated Fluorescent Probe Based on Self-Immolative Block Copolymer

Kuanchun Shao et al.

Summary: This work presents a hypoxia-activated fluorescent probe for tumor imaging, which utilizes a self-immolative block copolymer with an azobenzene linkage. The probe shows no fluorescence until it encounters the hypoxic microenvironment of tumor cells, where the azobenzene is reduced by overexpressed azoreductase, leading to the disassembly of the self-immolative polymer and the emission of strong fluorescence, demonstrating its potential application in tumor imaging.

TPE based aggregation induced emission fluorescent sensors for viscosity of liquid and mechanical properties of hydrogel

Na Wang et al.

Summary: Two amphiphilic TPE E/Z isomers with aggregation induced emission (AIE) property were synthesized and characterized. The molecules showed positive correlation between their fluorescent intensity and the viscosity of the liquid. The Z-TPE isomer exhibited higher sensitivity to viscosity compared to the corresponding E-TPE isomer. These molecules also served as fluorescent sensors for mechanical properties of hydrogel and displayed low cytotoxicity in normal tissue cell line.
