Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more ...

Diagnosing liver cancer may have just gotten more straightforward, thanks to a new probe that makes the affected tissue glow yellow. The fluorescent labeling compound—dubbed "Sialyl Lewis Yellow"—was ...

DNA, the genetic material compacted in chromosomes, stores information to regulate all the cell processes in the body. Two decades ago, in addition to the widely known Watson-Crick double helix model ...

Subtle cognitive decline in early Alzheimer’s disease is often indistinguishable from normal aging; as a result, the disease readily goes undiagnosed for two to three years after symptom onset. By ...

The secret behind 'NeuO (Neuronal selective fluorescent probe)', which accurately identifies and fluorescently stains only 'neurons', has finally been unveiled. A research team led by Professor ...

Cells live and die by the presence of oxygen, and low-oxygen states often indicate disease. Bacterial biofilms and the cells in solid tumors, for example, are hypoxic—that is, have abnormally low ...

It is now possible to obtain three-dimensional, high-resolution images of enzyme activity in tissue samples or whole organs -- thanks to probe molecules that anchor fluorescent dyes within tissue as ...

Researchers have reported a sample-prior-based approach to point spread function decoupling that improves system ...

A research team develops a fluorescent molecular sensor for detecting bad cooking oils. The novel technology enables anyone to easily measure the cooked time for all kinds of cooking oils. How clean ...
