Preface:special topic on fluorescent chemical/biological sensors and imaging

摘要

There is currently considerable interest in the development of fluorescent molecular probes for use in sensitive sensing and imaging applications.The design,synthesis and application of fluorescent molecular probes that selectively and specifically respond to the presence of a specific analyte is a multidisciplinary research area involving numerous fields of modern science and medicine,including molecular biology,chemical biology,biophysics,clinical diagnosis and analytical/environmental chemistry,etc.For sensing application,advances in the understanding of molecular probe
