title: Controlled self-assembly of small molecule probes and the related applications in bioanalysis.
abstract: Fluorescence spectroscopy is widely used in basic research, disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and the development of novel bioanalytical techniques. We mainly focus on the changes in fluorescence signal originated from the controlled self-assembly of small molecule probes, including aggregation caused quenching, aggregation induced emission, controlled turn-on of probe monomer emission, and the tunable monomer-excimer transition. Recent developments in the related bioanalytical techniques have been reviewed.
