The fastest and the brightest: A new design that intimately connects tetrazine to a BODIPY fluorophore enables exceptionally efficient energy transfer quenching. Upon reaction of tetrazine, brightness increases more than thousand-fold, which is fluorogenic activation up two orders magnitude greater previously described.

<h3>Importance</h3> Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory illness with a high rate of hospitalization and mortality. Biomarkers are urgently needed for patient risk stratification. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), component complete counts that reflects cellular volume variation, has been shown to be associated elevated morbidity mortality in wide range diseases. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate whether association between RDW at hospital admission during...
Abstract We have developed a series of new ultrafluorogenic probes in the blue‐green region visible‐light spectrum that display fluorescence enhancement exceeding 11 000‐fold. These fluorogenic dyes integrate coumarin fluorochrome with bioorthogonal trans ‐cyclooctene(TCO)–tetrazine chemistry platform. By exploiting highly efficient through‐bond energy transfer (TBET), these exhibit highest brightness enhancements reported for any dyes. No‐wash, imaging diverse targets including cell‐surface...
Recent developments in bond cleavage reactions have expanded the scope of bioorthogonal chemistry beyond click ligation and enabled new strategies for probe activation therapeutic delivery. These applications, however, remain their infancy, with further innovations needed to achieve efficiency required versatile broadly useful tools vivo. Among these chemistries, tetrazine/ trans-cyclooctene click-to-release reaction has exemplary kinetics adaptability but achieves only partial release is...
Exosomes and extracellular vesicles (EV) are increasingly being explored as circulating biomarkers, but their heterogenous composition will likely mandate the development of multiplexed EV technologies. Iteratively analyses near single EVs have been challenging to implement beyond a few colors during spectral sensing. Here we developed analysis technique (MASEV) interrogate thousands individual 5 cycles multi-channel fluorescence staining for 15 biomarkers. Contrary common belief, show that:...
The exploitation of biological macromolecules, such as nucleic acids, for the fabrication advanced materials is a promising area research. Although greater variety structural and functional uses can be envisioned protein-based materials, systematic approaches their construction have yet to emerge. Consistent with theoretical models polymer macrocyclization, we demonstrated that, in presence dimeric methotrexate (bisMTX), wild-type Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) molecules...
There is a need for novel analytical techniques to study the composition of single extracellular vesicles (EV). Such are required improve understanding heterogeneous EV populations, allow identification unique subpopulations, and enable earlier more sensitive disease detection. Because small size their low protein content, ultrahigh sensitivity technologies required. Here, an immuno-droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (iddPCR) amplification method described that allows multiplexed...
Tumor cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are being explored as circulating biomarkers, but it is unclear whether bulk measurements will allow early cancer detection. We hypothesized that a single-EV analysis (sEVA) technique could potentially improve diagnostic accuracy. Using pancreatic (PDAC), we analyzed the composition of putative markers in 11 model lines. In parental PDAC cells positive for KRASmut and/or P53mut proteins, only ~40% EVs were also positive. blinded study involving...
Inflammation is the physiologic reaction to cellular and tissue damage caused by trauma, ischemia, infection, other pathologic conditions. Elevation of white blood cell count (WBC) altered levels acute phase reactants are cardinal signs inflammation, but dynamics these changes their resolution not well established. Here we studied inflammatory recovery from infection tracking longitudinal clinical laboratory measurements in hospitalized patients. We identified a universal trajectory defined...
Complete blood count indices and their ratios are associated with adverse clinical outcomes for many acute illnesses, but the mechanisms generating these associations not fully understood. Recent identification of a consistent pattern white cell platelet co-regulation during inflammatory recovery provides potentially unifying explanation. Here we show that platelet-to-white-cell ratio, which was selected based on this conserved pattern, is more strongly mortality than other markers in four...
Am schnellsten und hellsten: Die enge Verknüpfung von Tetrazin an ein BODIPY-Fluorophor führt zu einem außergewöhnlich effizienten Energietransfer starker Fluoreszenzlöschung. Nach Reaktion des Tetrazins nimmt die Fluoreszenzintensität um mehr als das Tausendfache zu. Damit ist fluorogene Aktivierung zwei Größenordnungen höher zuvor beschrieben.

Serial tissue sampling has become essential in guiding modern targeted and personalized cancer treatments. An alternative to image guided core biopsies are fine needle aspirates (FNA) that yield cells rather than tissues but much better tolerated have lower complication rates. The efficient pathway analysis of such the clinic been difficult, time consuming costly. Here we develop an antibody-DNA barcoding approach where harvested can be rapidly re-stained through use custom designed...
Bioorthogonal chemistry is bridging the divide between static chemical connectivity and dynamic physiologic regulation of molecular state, enabling in situ transformations that drive multiple technologies. In spite maturing mechanistic understanding new bioorthogonal bond-cleavage reactions, broader goal ON/OFF control has been limited by inability existing systems to achieve both fast (i.e., seconds minutes, not hours) complete >99%) cleavage. To attain stringent performance characteristics...
Rapid analysis of single and scant cell populations is essential in modern diagnostics, yet existing methods are often limited slow. Herein, we describe an ultra-fast, highly efficient cycling method for the cells based on unique linkers tetrazine (Tz)/trans-cyclooctene (TCO)-mediated quenching. Surprisingly, quenching reaction rates were more than 3 orders magnitude faster (t1/2 <1 s) predicted. This allowed multi-cycle staining immune profiling within hour, leveraging accelerated kinetics...
