[PMID: 38878753 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
Plasma membranes are vital biological structures, serving as protective barriers and participating in various cellular processes. In the field of super-resolution optical microscopy, stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy has emerged as a powerful method for investigating plasma membrane-related phenomena. However, many applications of STED microscopy are critically restricted by the limited availability of suitable fluorescent probes. This paper reports on the development of two amphiphilic membrane probes, SHE-2H and SHE-2N, specially designed for STED nanoscopy. SHE-2N, in particular, demonstrates quick and stable plasma membrane labelling with negligible intracellular redistribution. Both probes exhibit outstanding photostability and resolution improvement in STED nanoscopy, and are also suited for two-photon excitation microscopy. Furthermore, microscopy experiments and cytotoxicity tests revealed no noticeable cytotoxicity of probe SHE-2N at concentration used for fluorescence imaging. Spectral analysis and fluorescence lifetime measurements conducted on probe SHE-2N using giant unilamellar vesicles, revealed that emission spectra and fluorescence lifetimes exhibited minimal sensitivity to lipid composition variations. These novel probes significantly augment the arsenal of tools available for high-resolution plasma membrane research, enabling a more profound exploration of cellular processes and dynamics.

Abstract
Many biological processes generally require long-term visualization tools for time-scale dynamic changes of the plasma membrane, but there is still a lack of design rules for such imaging tools based on small-molecule fluorescent probes. Herein, we revealed the key regulatory roles of charge number and species of fluorescent dyes in the anchoring ability of the plasma membrane and found that the introduction of multi-charged units and appropriate charge species is often required for fluorescent dyes with strong plasma membrane anchoring ability by systematically investigating the structure-function relationship of cyanostyrylpyridium (CSP) dyes with different charge numbers and species and their imaging performance for the plasma membrane. The CSP-DBO dye constructed exhibits strong plasma membrane anchoring ability in staining the plasma membrane of cells, in addition to many other advantages such as excellent biocompatibility and general universality of cell types. Such a fluorescent anchor has been successfully used to monitor chemically induced plasma membrane damage and dynamically track various cellular biological events such as cell fusion and cytokinesis over a long period of time by continuously monitoring the dynamic morphological changes of the plasma membrane, providing a valuable precise visualization tool to study the physiological response to chemical stimuli and reveal the structural morphological changes and functions of the plasma membrane during these important biological events from a dynamic perspective. Furthermore, CSP-DBO exhibits excellent biocompatibility and imaging capability in vivo such as labelling the plasma membrane in vivo and monitoring the metabolic process of lipofuscin as an aging indicator.

Abstract
Super-resolution imaging has rapidly emerged as an optical microscopy technique, offering advantages of high optical resolution over the past two decades; achieving improved imaging resolution requires significant efforts in developing super-resolution imaging agents characterized by high brightness, high contrast and high sensitivity to fluorescence switching. Apart from technical requirements in optical systems and algorithms, super-resolution imaging relies on fluorescent dyes with special photophysical or photochemical properties. The concept of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) was proposed in 2001, coinciding with unprecedented advancements and innovations in super-resolution imaging technology. AIE probes offer many advantages, including high brightness in the aggregated state, low background signal, a larger Stokes shift, ultra-high photostability, and excellent biocompatibility, making them highly promising for applications in super-resolution imaging. In this review, we summarize the progress in implementation methods and provide insights into the mechanism of AIE-based super-resolution imaging, including fluorescence switching resulting from photochemically-converted aggregation-induced emission, electrostatically controlled aggregation-induced emission and specific binding-regulated aggregation-induced emission. Particularly, the aggregation-induced emission principle has been proposed to achieve spontaneous fluorescence switching, expanding the selection and application scenarios of super-resolution imaging probes. By combining the aggregation-induced emission principle and specific molecular design, we offer some comprehensive insights to facilitate the applications of AIEgens (AIE-active molecules) in super-resolution imaging.

Abstract
Detergents are amphiphilic molecules that serve as enabling steps for today's world applications. The increasing diversity of the detergentome is key to applications enabled by detergent science. Regardless of the application, the optimal design of detergents is determined empirically, which leads to failed preparations, and raising costs. To facilitate project planning, here we review synthesis strategies that drive the diversification of the detergentome. Synthesis strategies relevant for industrial and academic applications include linear, modular, combinatorial, bio-based, and metric-assisted detergent synthesis. Scopes and limitations of individual synthesis strategies in context with industrial product development and academic research are discussed. Furthermore, when designing detergents, the selection of molecular building blocks, i. e., head, linker, tail, is as important as the employed synthesis strategy. To facilitate the design of safe-to-use and tailor-made detergents, we provide an overview of established head, linker, and tail groups and highlight selected scopes and limitations for applications. It becomes apparent that most recent contributions to the increasing chemical diversity of detergent building blocks originate from the development of detergents for membrane protein studies. The overview of synthesis strategies and molecular blocks will bring us closer to the ability to predictably design and synthesize optimal detergents for challenging future applications.

Abstract
The glycosylation of cellular membranes is crucial for the survival and communication of cells. As our target is the engineering of the glycocalyx, we designed a functionalized lipid anchor for the introduction into cellular membranes called Functional Lipid Anchor for MEmbranes (FLAME). Since cholesterol incorporates very effectively into membranes, we developed a twice cholesterol-substituted anchor in a total synthesis by applying protecting group chemistry. We labeled the compound with a fluorescent dye, which allows cell visualization. FLAME was successfully incorporated in the membranes of living human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC), acting as a temporary, nontoxic marker. The availability of an azido function─a bioorthogonal reacting group within the compound─enables the convenient coupling of alkyne-functionalized molecules, such as fluorophores or saccharides. After the incorporation of FLAME into the plasma membrane of living hMSC, we were able to successfully couple our molecule with an alkyne-tagged fluorophore via click reaction. This suggests that FLAME is useful for the modification of the membrane surface. Coupling FLAME with a galactosamine derivative yielded FLAME-GalNAc, which was incorporated into U2OS cells as well as in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) and cell-derived giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs). With this, we have shown that FLAME-GalNAc is a useful tool for studying the partitioning in the liquid-ordered (Lo) and the liquid-disordered (Ld) phases. The molecular tool can also be used to analyze the diffusion behavior in the model and the cell membranes by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS).

Abstract
Cellular membranes play a key role in cell communication with the extracellular environment and neighboring cells. Any changes, including their composition, packing, physicochemical properties and formation of membrane protrusions may affect cells feature. Despite its great importance, tracking membrane changes in living cells is still a challenge. For investigation of processes related to tissue regeneration and cancer metastasis, such as the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, increased cell motility, and blebbing, the possibility to conduct prolonged observation of membrane changes is beneficial, albeit difficult. A particular challenge is conducting this type of research under detachment conditions. In the current manuscript, a new dithienothiophene S,S-dioxide (DTTDO) derivative is presented as an effective dye for staining the membranes of living cells. The synthetic procedures, physicochemical properties, and biological activity of the new compound are presented herein. In addition to the labeling of the membranes in a monolayer culture, its usefulness for visualization of membranes under detachment conditions is also demonstrated. Obtained data have proven that a new DTTDO derivative may be used to stain membranes in various types of experimental procedures, from traditional 2D cell cultures to unanchored conditions. Moreover, due to the specific optical properties, the background signal is reduced and, thus, observation may be performed without washing.

Abstract
The visualization of cell membrane and mitochondrial behavior in living cells is of great life science value, but challenging due to the lack of ideal probes. In this work, two novel fluorescent probes based on different lengths of alkyl chains were reported for selective targeting of cell membranes or mitochondria of living cells. The probe CTM (1-Octadecyl-4-[9-ethyl-6-(diphenylamino)-9H-carbazol-3-yl] pyridinium) achieved cell membrane-specific staining in cells. Moreover, the probe CTM could monitor cell membrane damage through subcellular migration. Once the cell membrane was damaged, the probe CTM migrated into the mitochondria as a signal reporter. In addition, the probe MTM (1-Dodecly-4-[9-ethyl-6-(diphenylamino)-9H-carbazol-3-yl] pyridinium) with the shorter alkyl chain bearing the same skeleton structure penetrated the cell membrane and exhibited high affinity to mitochondria. This work will provide a useful tool to visualize the behavior of cell membranes and mitochondria in living cells.

Abstract
A series of dithienothiophene S,S-dioxide (DTTDO) dyes was designed, synthesized, and investigated for their suitability in fluorescent cell imaging. Synthetized (D-π-A-π-D)-type DTTDO derivatives have molecule lengths close to the thickness of the phospholipid membrane, and they contain on both ends two positively charged or neutral polar groups to increase their solubility in water and to ensure simultaneous interaction with polar groups of the inner and outer part of the cellular membrane. DTTDO derivatives exhibit absorbance and emission maxima in the 517-538 nm and 622-694 nm range, respectively, and a large Stokes shift up to 174 nm. Fluorescence microscopy experiments revealed that these compounds selectively intercalate into cell membranes. Moreover, a cytotoxicity assay conducted on a model human live cells indicates low toxicity of these compounds at the concentrations required for effective staining. With suitable optical properties, low cytotoxicity, and high selectivity against cellular structures, DTTDO derivatives are proven to be attractive dyes for fluorescence-based bioimaging.

Abstract
Fluorescence probe is one of the most powerful tools for cellular imaging. Here, three phospholipid-mimicking fluorescent probes (FP1-FP3) comprising fluorescein and two lipophilic groups of saturated and/or unsaturated C18 fatty acids were synthesized, and their optical properties were investigated. Like in biological phospholipids, the fluorescein group acts as a hydrophilic polar headgroup and the lipid groups act as hydrophobic non-polar tail groups. Laser confocal microscope images illustrated that FP3, which contains both saturated and unsaturated lipid tails, showed great uptake into the canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
Long-term in situ cell membrane-targeted bioimaging is of great significance for studying specific biological processes and functions, but currently developed membrane probes are rarely simultaneously used to image the plasma membrane of animal and plant cells, and these probes lack sufficiently high long-term targeting ability. Herein, we proposed an antipermeability strategy to achieve highly specific and long-term imaging of plasma membranes of both human and plant cells using the steric hindrance effect and restriction-induced emission of AIE-active probes based on an updated membrane model. A certain degree of rigidity of plasma membrane containing a large ratio of rigid cholesterol molecules in the updated membrane model provides a promising opportunity to design antipermeable probes by introducing a rigid steric hindrance group in the probe. The designed antipermeable probes can anchor inside plasma membrane for a long term relying on the combination of the steric hindrance effect and the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the probe and the membrane, as well as light up the membrane via the restriction-induced emission mechanism. The excellent performance in imaging completeness and specificity for both human cells and plant cells clearly shows that these designed probes possess outstanding antipermeability to achieve long-term specific imaging of membrane. These probes also show some advanced features such as ultrafast staining, wash-free merit, favorable biocompatibility, good photostability, and effective resistance to viscosity and pH alteration. This work also provides a valuable design principle for membrane probes of plant cells that the designed probes require a suitable molecular size favoring the penetration of small pores of cell walls.

Abstract
Fluorescence microscopy revolutionized cell biology and changed requirements for dyes towards higher brightness, novel capacities, and specific targets. With the need for multiplexing assays in high-throughput methodologies, surface staining gained particular interest because it allows rapid application of exogenous stains to track cellular identity in mixed populations. Indeed, the last decade has enriched the toolbox of general lipid stains, fluorescent lipid analogues, sugar-binding lectins, and protein-specific antibodies enabling the first rationally designed plasma membrane-specific dyes. Still, multiple challenges exist, and the unique properties of each dye must be considered when selecting a staining approach for a specific application. Recent advances are also promising that future dyes will provide ultimate brightness and photostability in diverse colors and reduced sizes for high-resolution imaging.

Abstract
Bioimaging plays a key role in the diagnosis/treatment of diseases and in scientific research studies. Compared with single imaging techniques, dual-mode and multimode imaging techniques facilitate high accuracy. In this work, a perylene diimide (PDI)-based Gd-containing magnetic ionic liquid, Per-6-Diimi[Gd(NO3)4], is reported for dual-modal imaging, in which a Gd(III) complex was used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while PDI was used for fluorescence imaging. Because of the difference in the biological microenvironment, there is a switch between dispersed and aggregated states of Per-6-Diimi[Gd(NO3)4] molecules in hydrophobic and hydrophilic media. When it was in the aqueous solution, the intensive π-π interaction of PDI cores made Per-6-Diimi[Gd(NO3)4] aggregates to form particles. The paramagnetic nanoparticles ensure prolonging the rotational correlation time, which results in a strong enhancement of MRI with a longitude relaxation coefficient of 14.94 mM-1 s-1. In an in vivo MRI experiment, the tumor site is imaged by MRI through the enhanced permeability and retention effect. However, when the molecule is present on the hydrophobic membrane of the cells, the dispersed Per-6-Diimi[Gd(NO3)4] showed good fluorescence imaging capabilities due to the high fluorescence quantum yield of PDI. Thus, the fluorescence imaging of cells can be carried out. Moreover, ex vivo fluorescence imaging of organs is performed after MRI. Per-6-Diimi[Gd(NO3)4] is enriched in the liver, kidneys, and tumors.

Abstract
A cell membrane-specific fluorescent probe was prepared by conjugating a coumarin dye with a tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivative through an α,β-unsaturated ketone connection. The probe has two absorptions: one from the TPE moiety at 300 nm and a second one due to the coumarin moiety at 458.5 nm. The probe fluoresces at 470 nm in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution. The probe exhibits a useful aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property. A gradual increase in the water content of a THF solution causes a significant decrease and 12 nm red shift in the fluorescence peak at 470 nm, giving rise to a new strong fluorescence peak at 591 nm at a 95% water content. The probe is hydrophobic with an AIE property and binds to cell membranes, resulting in 591 nm fluorescence upon implantation into cells. The probe possesses a long retention time despite the lack of a long, cell membrane-anchored hydrophobic alkyl chain, which is typical for traditional membrane-specific probes. Our probe also displays low cytotoxicity and excellent photostability.

Abstract
The plasma membrane (PM) plays a major role in many biological processes; therefore, its proper fluorescence staining is required in bioimaging. Among the commercially available PM probes, styryl dye FM1-43 is one of the most widely used. In this work, we demonstrated that fine chemical modifications of FM1-43 can dramatically improve the PM staining. The newly developed probes, SP-468 and SQ-535, were found to display enhanced photophysical properties (reduced cross-talk, higher brightness, improved photostability) and, unlike FM1-43, provided excellent and immediate PM staining in 5 different mammalian cell types including neurons (primary culture and tissue imaging). Taking advantage of these features, we successfully used SP-468 in STED super resolution neuronal imaging. Additionally, we showed that the new probes displayed differences in their internalization pathways compared to their parent FM1-43. Finally, we showed that the new probes kept the ability to stain the PM of plant cells. Overall, this work presents new useful probes for PM imaging in cells and tissues and provides insights on the molecular design of new PM targeting molecules.

Abstract
Fluorescent imaging, which is an important interdisciplinary field bridging research from organic chemistry, biochemistry and cell biology has been applied for multi-dimensional detection, visualization and characterization of biological structures and processes. Especially valuable is the possibility to monitor cellular processes in real time using fluorescent probes. In this work, conjugated oligoelectrolytes and neutral derivatives with the distyrylnaphthalene core (SN-COEs) were designed, synthetized and tested for biological properties as membrane-specific fluorescent dyes for the visualization of membrane-dependent cellular processes. The group of tested compounds includes newly synthesized distyrylnaphthalene derivatives (DSNNs): a trimethylammonium derivative (DSNN-NMe3+), a phosphonate derivative (DSNN-P), a morpholine derivative (DSNN-Mor), a dihydroxyethylamine derivative (DSNN-DEA), a phosphonate potassium salt (DSNN-POK), an amino derivative (DSNN-NH2) and pyridinium derivative (DSNN-Py+). All compounds were tested for their biological properties, including cytotoxicity and staining efficiency towards mammalian cells. The fluorescence intensity of SN-COEs incorporated into cellular structures was analyzed by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity results have shown that all tested SN-COEs can be safely used in the human and animal cell studies. Fluorescence and confocal microscopy observations confirm that tested COEs can be applied as fluorescent probes for the visualization of intracellular membrane components in a wide range of different cell types, including adherent and suspension cells. The staining procedure may be performed under both serum free and complete medium conditions. The presented studies have revealed the interesting biological properties of SN-COEs and confirmed their applicability as dyes for staining the membranous structures of eukaryotic cells, which may be useful for visualization of wide range of biological processes dependent of the extra-/intracellular communications and/or based on the remodeling of cellular membranes.

Abstract
This work describes a novel fluorescent 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole derivative designed to act as a water-soluble and selective bioprobe for plasma membrane imaging. The new compound was efficiently synthesized in a two-step procedure with good yields. The photophysical properties were evaluated and the dye proved to have an excellent photostability in several solvents. DFT calculations were found in agreement with the experimental data and helped to understand the stabilizing intramolecular charge-transfer process from the first excited state. The new fluorescent derivative could be applied as selective bioprobe in several cell lines and displayed plasma-membrane affinity during the imaging experiments for all tested models.

Abstract
The proper staining of the plasma membrane (PM) is critical in bioimaging as it delimits the cell. Herein, we developed MemBright, a family of six cyanine-based fluorescent turn-on PM probes that emit from orange to near infrared when reaching the PM, and enable homogeneous and selective PM staining with excellent contrast in mono- and two-photon microscopy. These probes are compatible with long-term live-cell imaging and immunostaining. Moreover, MemBright label neurons in a brighter manner than surrounding cells, allowing identification of neurons in acute brain tissue sections and neuromuscular junctions without any use of transfection or transgenic animals. In addition, MemBright probes were used in super-resolution imaging to unravel the neck of dendritic spines. 3D multicolor dSTORM in combination with immunostaining revealed en-passant synapse displaying endogenous glutamate receptors clustered at the axonal-dendritic contact site. MemBright probes thus constitute a universal toolkit for cell biology and neuroscience biomembrane imaging with a variety of microscopy techniques. VIDEO ABSTRACT.

Abstract
Staining of the plasma membrane (PM) is essential in bioimaging, as it delimits the cell surface and provides various information regarding the cell morphology and status. Herein, the lipophilicity of a green emitting BODIPY fluorophore was tuned by gradual functionalization with anchors composed of zwitterionic and aliphatic groups, thus yielding three different amphiphilic dyes. We found that BODIPY bearing one or three anchors failed in efficiently staining the PM: the derivative with one anchor showed low affinity to PM and exhibited strong fluorescence in water due to high solubility, whereas BODIPY with three anchors aggregated strongly in media and precipitated before binding to the PM. In sharp contrast, the BODIPY bearing two anchors (B-2AZ, MemBright-488) formed virtually nonfluorescent soluble aggregates in aqueous medium that quickly deaggregated in the presence of PM, leading to a bright soluble molecular form (quantum yield of 0.92). This fluorogenic response allowed for efficient probing of the PM at low concentration (20 nM) with high signal to background ratio images in mono- as well as two-photon excitation microscopy. B-2AZ proved to selectively stain the PM in a more homogeneous manner than the commercially available fluorescently labeled lectin WGA. Finally, it was successfully used in 3D-imaging to reveal fine intercellular tunneling nanotubes in KB cells and to stain the PM in glioblastoma cells in spheroids.

Abstract
Very small polydopamine (PDA) polyethylene glycol (PEG) crosslinked copolymer (PDA-PEG) nanoparticles have been prepared following a convenient one-step procedure in aqueous solution. Particle sizes and colloidal stabilities have been optimized by varying PEG in view of chain length and end group functionalities. In particular, amine-terminated PEG3000 [PEG3000(NH2)2] reacted with polydopamine intermediates so that very small, crosslinked PDA-PEG nanoparticles with sizes of less than 50 nm were formed. These nanoparticles remained stable in buffer solution and no sedimentation occurred. Chemical functionalization was straight-forward as demonstrated by the attachment of fluorescent dyes. The PDA-PEG nanoparticles revealed efficient cellular uptake via endocytosis and high cytocompatibility, thus rendering them attractive candidates for cell imaging or for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanomaterials are expected to revolutionize medical diagnostic, imaging, and therapeutic tools due to their superior optical and structural properties. Their inefficient water solubility, cell permeability, biodistribution, and high toxicity, however, limit the full potential of their application. To overcome these obstacles, a water-soluble, fluorescent, cytocompatible polymer-single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) complex is introduced for bioimaging applications. The supramolecular complex consists of an alkylated polymer conjugated with neutral hydroxylated or charged sulfated dendronized perylene bisimides (PBIs) and SWNTs as a general immobilization platform. The polymer backbone solubilizes the SWNTs, decorates them with fluorescent PBIs, and strongly improves their cytocompatibility by wrapping around the SWNT scaffold. In photophysical measurements and biological in vitro studies, sulfated complexes exhibit superior optical properties, cellular uptake, and intracellular staining over their hydroxylated analogs. A toxicity assay confirms the highly improved cytocompatibility of the polymer-wrapped SWNTs toward surfactant-solubilized SWNTs. In microscopy studies the complexes allow for the direct imaging of the SWNTs' cellular uptake via the PBI and SWNT emission using the 1st and 2nd optical window for bioimaging. These findings render the polymer-SWNT complexes with nanometer size, dual fluorescence, multiple charges, and high cytocompatibility as valuable systems for a broad range of fluorescence bioimaging studies.

Abstract
Interest in bay-substituted perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic diimides (PDIs) for solution-based applications is growing due to their improved solubility and altered optical and electronic properties compared to unsubstituted PDIs. Synthetic routes to 1,12-bay-substituted PDIs have been very demanding due to issues with steric hindrance and poor regioselectivity. Here we report a simple one-step regioselective and high yielding synthesis of a 1,12-dihydroxylated PDI derivative that can subsequently be alkylated in a straightforward fashion to produce nonplanar 1,12-dialkoxy PDIs. These PDIs show a large Stokes shift, which is specifically useful for bioimaging applications. A particular cationic PDI gemini-type surfactant has been developed that forms nonfluorescent self-assembled particles in water ("off state"), which exerts a high fluorescence upon incorporation into lipophilic bilayers ("on state"). Therefore, this probe is appealing as a highly sensitive fluorescent labelling marker with a low background signal for imaging artificial and cellular membranes.

Abstract
Red and green are two of the most-preferred colors from the entire chromatic spectrum, and red and green dyes are widely used in biochemistry, immunohistochemistry, immune-staining, and nanochemistry applications. Selective dyes with green and red excitable chromophores can be used in biological environments, such as tissues and cells, and can be irradiated with visible light without cell damage. This critical review, covering a period of five years, provides an overview of the most-relevant results on the use of red and green fluorescent dyes in the fields of bio-, chemo- and nanoscience. The review focuses on fluorescent dyes containing chromophores such as fluorescein, rhodamine, cyanine, boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY), 7-nitobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-4-yl, naphthalimide, acridine orange, perylene diimides, coumarins, rosamine, Nile red, naphthalene diimide, distyrylpyridinium, benzophosphole P-oxide, benzoresorufins, and tetrapyrrolic macrocycles. Metal complexes and nanomaterials with these dyes are also discussed.

Abstract
Animal cells have complicated dynamics of cell membrane structures which require desirable dyes for in vivo imaging. Here, an asymmetric amphiphilic zwitterionic perylenediimide (ZP) derivative has been constructed by introducing an octyl chain and a zwitterionic head to each imide position of perylenediimide chromophore. ZP could self-assemble into vesicles in aqueous solution. The aggregated ZP vesicles have been explored to image cell inner or surface membrane structures by a controlled disassembly process. After being taken up into cells, ZP vesicles disassemble into monomers and then incorporate into cell inner membranes. The vesicles can also disassemble in acid food and incorporate into cell surface membrane of gut cells. The research provides a new tool to label the complicated cell membrane structures with up to 3 days long-term labeling for life science applications.

Abstract
Biocompatible organic dyes emitting in the near-infrared are highly desirable in fluorescence imaging techniques. Herein we report a synthetic approach for building novel small peri-guanidine-fused naphthalene monoimide and perylene monoimide chromophores. The presented structures possess near-infrared absorption and emission, high photostability, and good water solubility. After a fast cellular uptake, they selectively stain mitochondria with a low background in live and fixed cells. They can be additionally modified in a one-step reaction with functional groups for covalent labeling of proteins. The low cytotoxicity allows a long time exposure of live cells to the dyes without the necessity of washing. Successful application in localization super-resolution microscopy was demonstrated in phosphate-buffered saline without any reducing or oxidizing additives.

Abstract
Long-time stable plasma membrane imaging is difficult due to the fast cellular internalization of fluorescent dyes and the quick detachment of the dyes from the membrane. In this study, we developed a two-step synergistic cell surface modification and labeling strategy to realize long-time plasma membrane imaging. Initially, a multisite plasma membrane anchoring reagent, glycol chitosan-10% PEG2000 cholesterol-10% biotin (abbreviated as "GC-Chol-Biotin"), was incubated with cells to modify the plasma membranes with biotin groups with the assistance of the membrane anchoring ability of cholesterol moieties. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated avidin was then introduced to achieve the fluorescence-labeled plasma membranes based on the supramolecular recognition between biotin and avidin. This strategy achieved stable plasma membrane imaging for up to 8 h without substantial internalization of the dyes, and avoided the quick fluorescence loss caused by the detachment of dyes from plasma membranes. We have also demonstrated that the imaging performance of our staining strategy far surpassed that of current commercial plasma membrane imaging reagents such as DiD and CellMask. Furthermore, the photodynamic damage of plasma membranes caused by a photosensitizer, Chlorin e6 (Ce6), was tracked in real time for 5 h during continuous laser irradiation. Plasma membrane behaviors including cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, and plasma membrane vesiculation could be dynamically recorded. Therefore, the imaging strategy developed in this work may provide a novel platform to investigate plasma membrane behaviors over a relatively long time period.

Abstract
Dendritic molecules are an exciting research topic because of their highly branched architecture, multiple functional groups on the periphery, and very pertinent features for various applications. Self-assembling dendritic amphiphiles have produced different nanostructures with unique morphologies and properties. Since their self-assembly in water is greatly relevant for biomedical applications, researchers have been looking for a way to rationally design dendritic amphiphiles for the last few decades. We review here some recent developments from investigations on the self-assembly of dendritic amphiphiles into various nanostructures in water on the molecular level. The main content of the review is divided into sections according to the different nanostructure morphologies resulting from the dendritic amphiphiles' self-assembly. Finally, we conclude with some remarks that highlight the self-assembling features of these dendritic amphiphiles.

Abstract
The synthesis of water-soluble dyes, which absorb and emit in the range between 650 and 950 nm and display high extinction coefficients (ε) as well as high fluorescence quantum yields (Φf), is still a demand for optical imaging. We now present a synthetic route for the preparation of a new group of glycerol-substituted cyanine dyes from dendronized indole precursors that have been functionalized as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters. High Φf values of up to 0.15 and extinction coefficients of up to 189 000 L mol(-1) cm(-1) were obtained for the pure dyes. Furthermore, conjugates of the new dendronized dyes with the antibody cetuximab (ctx) that were directed against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) of tumor cells could be prepared with dye to protein ratios between 0.3 and 2.2 to assess their potential as imaging probes. For the first time, ctx conjugates could be achieved without showing a decrease in Φf and with an increasing labeling degree that exceeded the value of the pure dye even at a labeling degree above 2. The incorporation of hydrophilically and sterically demanding dendrimers into cyanines prevented dimer formation after covalent conjugation to the antibody. The binding functionality of the resulting ctx conjugates to the EGFR was successfully demonstrated by cell microscopy studies using EGFR expressing cell lines. In summary, the combination of hydrophilic glycerol dendrons with reactive dye labels has been established for the first time and is a promising approach toward more powerful fluorescent labels with less dimerization.
