Inside Cover: Red Fluorescent Organic Nanoparticle Bioprobes: A Photostable Cytoplasmic Stain for Long Term In Vitro and In Vivo Visualization (ChemNanoMat 8/2015)

The Inside Cover shows the in vitro and in vivo applications of red fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs): illuminating the cytoplasm of cultured cells, visualizing yeast septa, and tracking the migration of transplanted cancer cells in zebrafish embryos. Solution‐stable, red‐emissive, biocompatible, nontoxic nanoparticles (nano‐Cy‐Red) were prepared via self‐assembly of a novel fluorescent chromophore, composed of a cytosine moiety connected to the 2,1,3‐benzothiadiazole fluorescent tag by an aliphatic chain.
