Green and Red Fluorescent Dyes for Translational Applications in Imaging and Sensing Analytes: A Dual‐Color Flag

摘要

Invited for this month's cover picture is the BIOSCOPE group of Professors Carlos Lodeiro and José Luis Capelo at the REQUIMTE/UCIBIO‐LAQv‐FCT University NOVA of Lisbon (Portugal), and their collaborators. The cover picture is devoted to Translational Research, and shows the Portuguese Flag represented by the interaction between cells and Janus gold/silver nanoparticles functionalized with rhodamine (red) and Fluorescein (green) dyes as tools for biomedical translational research. Read the full text of their Review at 10.1002/open.201700135 . “ Red and green dyes and materials have long attracted the interest of researchers in many different fields. With continuous experimental and theoretical advances, these materials cover a wide range of fields from imaging to sensing and translational applications in environmental monitoring, medical diagnosis, and biomedical studies …” Find out more about the story behind the front cover research at 10.1002/open.201700135 .
