A general strategy to develop fluorogenic polymethine dyes for bioimaging

Posted by Annabell Martin, on 6 December 2023

by Annabell Martin and Pablo Rivera-Fuentes. Fluorescence imaging is an invaluable tool to study biological processes and further progress depends on the development of novel advanced fluorescent probes. Excitingly, using polymethines as a scaffold for fluorogenic dyes, we have opened up a lot of new avenues for bioimaging.
