FLUORESCENT CHEMICAL DYE FOR VISUALIZATION OF NEURAL STEM CELL SYMMETRIC AND ASYMMETRIC DIVISION

摘要

A fluorescent rosamine dye having specificity for neural stem cells, specifically, proliferative neural stem cells, and represented by Structural Formula (I): wherein X is an anion, is described herein. Synthesis of the fluorescent rosamine dye and use of the fluorescent rosamine dye to detect symmetric and asymmetric division of neural stem cells are also described.
