A multi-responsive fluorescent probe for simultaneous detection of mitochondrial esterase and viscosity.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, with early detection severely hampered by its asymptomatic progression. Carboxylesterases (CEs) are significantly upregulated in HCC cells, making them promising biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Herein, we report a tri-lock fluorescent pro...
