Small Fluorogenic Amino Acids for Peptide-Guided Background-Free Imaging

Fabio de Moliner et al.

Summary: The multiple applications of super-resolution microscopy have led to the need for minimally invasive labeling strategies for peptide-guided fluorescence imaging. In this study, we have built a library of benzodiazole amino acids and examined their potential as background-free fluorescence microscopy probes. The results show that benzodiazole amino acids retain the binding capabilities of bioactive peptides and exhibit excellent signal-to-background ratios.

Rational Design of Phe-BODIPY Amino Acids as Fluorogenic Building Blocks for Peptide-Based Detection of Urinary Tract Candida Infections

Lorena Mendive-Tapia et al.

Summary: Fungal infections caused by Candida species are prevalent in hospitalized patients, but current detection methods are time-consuming. In this study, we developed new Phe-BODIPY amino acids and used them to produce fluorescent antimicrobial peptides for rapid labeling of Candida cells in urine. We also designed a simple and sensitive fluorescence-based assay for detecting Candida albicans in human urine samples.

Karolina Maleckaite et al.

Summary: Mapping microviscosity, temperature, and polarity in biosystems is important for disease detection. This study investigates how different electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups can alter the spectral and sensory properties of BODIPY compounds, providing insights for the development of fluorescent sensors. The research utilizes experimental results and quantum chemical calculations to understand the effects of non-radiative relaxation on the probe's sensitivity to temperature and viscosity.

Activatable Polymeric Nanoprobe for Near-Infrared Fluorescence and Photoacoustic Imaging of T Lymphocytes

Yan Zhang et al.

Summary: The development of real-time non-invasive imaging probes for assessing infiltration and activation of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) is essential for predicting the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. This study introduces an activatable semiconducting polymer nanoprobe (SPNP) for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging of a CTL activation biomarker, granzyme B. The SPNP can passively target tumors and react with granzyme B in situ to release a dye-labeled peptide, resulting in correlated NIRF and PA signals with the expression level of granzyme B and intratumoral population of CTLs.

Development of a bifunctional BODIPY probe for mitochondria imaging and in situ photo-crosslinking in live cell

Dhiraj P. Murale et al.

Summary: By synthesizing five BODIPY fluorophores and investigating their photophysical and photo-crosslinking properties, pcBDaza-Mito was discovered to selectively stain mitochondria in live-cell conditions and exhibit a 2.3-fold increase in photo-crosslinking efficiency to mitochondria proteins. These results demonstrate that the bifunctional BODIPY probe has great potential for robust mitochondria imaging in live cells.

Mechanisms controlling pancreatic islet cell function in insulin secretion

Jonathan E. Campbell et al.

Summary: Insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells is tightly regulated by various factors such as glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, metabolites, etc., which is crucial for understanding pancreatic dysfunction in diabetes. The complementary actions of insulin and glucagon in mammals tightly regulate metabolic homeostasis, and the dysregulation of these hormones can lead to various pathologies, notably type 2 diabetes.

Post-Translational Modifications of G Protein-Coupled Receptors Control Cellular Signaling Dynamics in Space and Time

Anand Patwardhan et al.

Summary: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of signaling receptors that regulate cellular and physiologic responses, implicated in various diseases. Although phosphorylation is a major regulator of GPCR signaling, other post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as ubiquitination, glycosylation, and palmitoylation play important roles in GPCR biology, yet understanding of these PTMs is limited. Comprehensive understanding of diverse PTMs is crucial for elucidating dysregulated mechanisms in disease and improving drug development for GPCRs.
