title: Photoswitchable fluorescent diarylethene in a turn-on mode for live cell imaging.
abstract: A new diarylethene-derived photochromic compound, with little cytotoxicity, plasma membrane-permeability, and efficient photoswitchability in cells upon alternative UV and visible light irradiation, was synthesized and applied to live cell imaging.
