Cysteine (Cys), one of cellular biothiols in the organism, is associated with many diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, liver damage, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. However, activatable fluorescence/photoacoustic (FL/PA) probes for non-invasive, real-time, and deep imaging of Cys in vivo are still lacking, and this hinders the diagnosis of Cys-related diseases. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel activated FL/PA dual-modality cyanine-base probe (FP
TL;DR

A novel activated FL/PA dual-modality cyanine-base probe (FP700) has advantage of high potential for deep tumor diagnosis of Cys in vivo, which may provide a new approach for the detection of cervical cancer and identification of its potential therapeutic targets.
