Studying biological processes on the level of live cells with the help of biocompatible reac-tions has tremendously advanced our understanding of basic biology. However, the great complexity of many human pathologies such as cancer, diabetes and neurodegen ...
The discovery of biocompatible reactions had a tremendous impact on chemical biology, allowing the study of numerous biological processes directly in complex systems. However, despite the fact that multiple biocompatible reactions have been developed in th ...
Chemical communication is the basis of host-microbe interaction. Insights into this communication will provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern these complex associations, in beneficial as well as pathogenic contexts. In this dissertati ...
Molecular imaging advances our understanding of cellular and molecular functions within complex biological systems. The development of novel imaging probes that can be applied to answer fundamental biological questions, diagnose and monitor disease progres ...
The cellular uptake mechanism and intracellular distribution of emissive lanthanide helicates have been elucidated by time-resolved luminescence microscopy (TRLM). The helicates are non-cytotoxic and taken up by normal (HaCat) and cancer (HeLa, MCF-7) cell ...
