The article titled "Innentitelbild: Stereochemistry-Dependent Labeling of Organelles with a Near-Infrared-Emissive Phosphorus-Bridged Rhodamine Dye in Live-Cell Imaging" presents a new photostable near-infrared (NIR) labeling agent developed by Masayasu Taki, Yasushi Okada, Florence Tama, Shigehiro Yamaguchi, and their colleagues. The compounds, which are stereoisomers based on phosphorus-bridged rhodamine, have different staining abilities in live cells. The trans-isomer can permeate organelle membranes and label target proteins, while the cis-isomer accumulates nonspecifically on lipid bilayers. The authors of the article are Qian Wu, Masayasu Taki, Yoshiki Tanaka, Manish Kesherwani, Quan Manh Phung, Sawako Enoki, Yasushi Okada, Florence Tama, and Shigehiro Yamaguchi.
