Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dyes and luminophores have received much attention over the last two decades as biomarkers, and they are widely believed to have considerable implications for various applied biological and medical research. It is well known that biomarkers based on fluorescent dyes are widely used in diagnosing diseases and tracking their progression. In addition, scientists have always seen biomarkers as a useful mean to visualize and establish the mechanisms of membranotropic activity, localization sites and drug delivery routes, studying biochemical interactions, quantifying metabolites, etc. The aim of the present Special Issue is therefore to shed new light on dyes and luminophores synthesis and ways of their structural modification, their physical and chemical properties fundamental research, as well as new achievements of functionalized biomarkers application in biological and medical fields.
