A new type of nontoxic fluorescent probe could make it much easier to detect low pH in living cells. The human body is engaged in a constant tightrope walk to maintain the right pH, because when our ...

When our cells' acid-alkaline balance goes wrong, it can go wrong in a big way -- think cancer and cystic fibrosis. New fluorescent probes make it easier to detect pH and sweetened the deal by adding ...

The illustration is a summary map of the organellar pH measured with a single pH-sensitive probe, SITE-pHorin, which possesses an ultra-pH sensitivity enhanced by the quantum entanglement effect. As ...
