Induced-volatolomics, a new research field in chemical biology by Blochouse, Estelle, Eid, Rony, Cannoni, Elsa, Châtre, Rémi, Geffroy, Claude, Opalinski, Isabelle, Papot, Sébastien, Poinot, Pauline

“…In comparison to their “always-on” counterparts, such stimuli-responsive probes stand out as promising candidates for exploring biological processes because of their high sensitivity, ingenious spatiotemporal resolution, ease of operation, and real-time and in situ imaging capacity. However, these imaging tools meet several bottlenecks related to either stability, background noise, limited penetration depth or systemic toxicity, pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and renal clearance.In parallel, novel volatile organic compound (VOC)-based probes have been proposed under the emerging paradigm of induced-volatolomics. …”
