Background:

Live-cell imaging is crucial for understanding cellular processes and disease mechanisms.
Existing methods like fluorescent proteins and immunodetection have limitations in live cells and genetic manipulation.
Novel imaging probes are needed for specific cell type detection and isolation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a library of fluorescent small molecules for specific cell-type targeting using the diversity-oriented fluorescence library approach (DOFLA).
To demonstrate the utility of these probes in identifying and isolating various cell types, including stem cells, neurons, and cancer cells.
To showcase applications in cell characterization, assays, and pathology.

Main Methods:

Combinatorial chemistry was employed to generate a diverse library of fluorescent small molecules.
The diversity-oriented fluorescence library approach (DOFLA) was used to create probes without prior target information.
Probes were tested for cell-type specificity in vitro and in vivo, including stem cells, neurons, myocytes, pancreatic islet cells, and cancer cells.

Main Results:

DOFLA successfully produced novel fluorescent probes with high cell-type specificity.
Probes like CDy1, CDg4, and CDb8 distinguish stem cells from other cell types.
Specific probes were developed for neural stem cells (CDr3), microglia (CDr10), myocytes (CDy2), pancreatic islet cells (GY, PiY), and histamine-rich cells (Histamine Blue).
Glutathione Green enables glutathione level measurement, and SERS nanotags aid cancer detection.

Conclusions:

The DOFLA strategy is effective for discovering novel fluorescent probes for specific cell types.
These fluorescent small molecules offer versatile tools for cell detection, isolation, and characterization.
The developed probes have significant potential in basic research, diagnostics, and therapeutic development.
