Fluorescent lipid is a class of lipids molecules attached with a fluorophore such as cyanine and fluorescence. Lipid molecule is widely used in drug delivery technologies, while the fluorophore acts as an essential tool for labeling and visualizing cell membranes.
Fluorescent lipids enable detailed exploration of biological membranes through microscopic techniques, facilitating investigations into lipid bilayer permeability, cellular positioning, and membrane dynamics via fluorescence recovery.
