Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue has been devised to broadly discuss the applications of fluorescent probes in the fields of chemistry, medicine, biology, pharmacology, and physiology. Fluorescent probes include light-emitting groups, linking groups, and recognition groups in structure. Recognition groups are usually used to identify small molecular substances; these small molecular substances, such as metal ions, enzymes, thiols, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, H+, etc., play a crucial role in physiological processes, and their concentrations are often abnormal. This is closely related to diseases including stroke, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, myocardial infarction, and even tumors. Fluorescent probes have the advantages of simple operation, good selectivity, and high sensitivity and are the most commonly and widely used fluorescent analysis methods. So far, fluorescent probes have been widely used in the determination of small molecules, imaging of biological tissues, and disease diagnosis. Therefore, it is of great significance to collect organic small molecule fluorescent probes for detection, imaging, and their potential applications in the field of clinical diagnosis in this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
