Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at ...

A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with ...

A research team has developed a fluorescent probe that allows scientists to visualize how individual lipid droplets break ...

Fluorescent proteins have become extremely popular tools for in vivo imaging and especially for the study of localization, motility and interaction of proteins in living cells. Here we report TagRFP, ...

In natural environments, bacteria rarely live as free-swimming cells but are attached to surfaces as biofilms in medical ...

Fluorescence imaging of biological samples stands to benefit greatly by a RIKEN discovery of a fluorescent protein derived from a Japanese jellyfish that maintains its brightness even when illuminated ...

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 ...

A team of researchers at IOCB Prague headed by Dr. Tomáš Slanina has developed a new method for labeling molecules with ...

A fluorescent protein makes it possible to follow disease progression in brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, strokes, and depression. That may lead to better insight into diseases and possible new ...

Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California took an unconventional approach in their bid to design the world's most efficient solar cell. Instead of developing a device that ...
