Targeting cancer cell mitochondria as a therapeutic approach: recent updates.

abstract：:Responsive optical probes play a vital role in following and understanding biological events. In this review, we focus on the use of lanthanide complexes as molecular probes, as they offer many advantages in imaging and assays, particularly when used in time-gated protocols. We describe systems that illustrate the key...
