{Abstract}: Copper (Cu) redox state has been an important issue in biology and toxicology research, but many research gaps remain to be explored due to the limitations in the detecting techniques. Herein, the regulation of Cu homeostasis, including absorption, translocation, utilization, storage, and elimination behavior is discussed. Cuproptosis, a newly identified type of cell death caused by excessive Cu accumulation, which results in the aggregation of DLAT protein or the loss of Fe-S cluster and finally proteotoxic stress, is reviewed. Several longstanding mysteries of diseases such as Wilson disease and toxic effects, may be attributed to cuproptosis. Furthermore, we review the advanced detection methods and application of Cu(I) and Cu(II), especially the in-situ imaging techniques such as XANES, and chemosensors. Most of the existing studies using these detection techniques focus on the bioaccumulation and toxicity of Cu(I) and Cu(II) in cells and aquatic organisms. Finally, it will be important to identify the roles of Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the growth, development, and diseases of organisms, as well as the relationship between bioaccumulation and toxicity of Cu(I) and Cu(II) in cellular and aquatic toxicology.
