Rapid imaging of lysyl oxidase activity and fibrogenesis with a turn-on fluorophore
2026-05-18
Abstract excerpt
Fibrogenesis is essential to wound healing, but aberrant fibrogenesis is a driver of many chronic diseases and cancers. Lysyl oxidases (LOX) play a pivotal role in fibrogenesis by catalyzing the oxidation of lysine residues to reactive aldehydes (allysine) in collagens and elastin, resulting in the crosslinking and excessive deposition of these extracellular matrix components. Currently, rapid and robust histologi...
