Abstract:
A novel dual-FRET-based fluorescence probe was designed and synthesized for the sequential detection of MMP-2 and caspase-3. This probe can successfully monitor Dox- and UV-induced cell apoptosis signals in real time and in situ, which demonstrated its great potential for apoptosis-related drug screening and dynamic apoptosis imaging.
