Elucidating the relationship between superoxide anion levels and lifespan using an enhanced two-photon fluorescence imaging probe

Abstract

We report a new reversible fluorescent two-photon (TP) probe (PY-CA) with high TP absorption cross section and pH-independent fluorescence response, which allow monitoring of O2˙ fluxes dynamically, selectively and sensitively. The imaging results indicate that O2˙ at high levels can shorten the life of Caenorhabditis elegans.
