“Carboxy-Functionalized Squaraine Dyes for Near-Infrared Bioimaging: Preventing Aggregation and Binding with BSA for Noninvasive Imaging”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38112180

This study designs and characterizes carboxy-functionalized squaraine dyes for near-infrared bioimaging, showing that certain dyes, when combined with BSA, prevent aggregation and bind strongly, demonstrating potential for noninvasive cellular and diagnostic imaging in living systems.
