Fluorescent tags are proving invaluable for tracking RNA molecules in cells. Two sets of crystal structures for one such tag — an RNA motif that fluoresces when bound to a dye — will aid the ...

Learn how modified fluorescent proteins are evolving into quantum sensors, enhancing our understanding of cellular processes.

In this Perspective the authors discuss strategies for the development of improved fluorescent proteins, with a focus on probes at the red end of the spectrum. They synthesize the literature on ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The Biomimetic Dendrimers and Photonic Laboratory of the research institute IBIMA ...

Fluorescent nanobeads offer great potential for many applications in both basic and applied research. Recently, scientists have been offered a wide range of technical solutions in fluorescence imaging ...

The research was carried out by scientists at Indiana University and the University of Copenhagen, who set out to solve a 150-year-old problem involving fluorescent dyes. The problem is known as ...

Researchers propose building fluorescence directly into microplastic polymer structures, enabling stable real-time imaging of how particles move, accumulate, and degrade in biological systems.
