Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

By moving around, some cancer cells force attacking immune cells to just nibble at the edges rather than engulf them ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.240035 discusses multiplexed stimulated emission depletion nanoscopy for multi-color live-cell long-term imaging. In the field of ...

To isolate specific cell populations, researchers frequently employ fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). While this flow cytometry-based technique analyzes the cells’ fluorescence, it cannot ...

A collaborative research team led by Professor Young-Tae Chang from the Department of Chemistry at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) and Professor Min Gao from Linyi University has ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Fluorescent nanodiamonds release a small molecule inside breast cancer cells and use quantum sensing to watch how the drug changes local cell chemistry in real time. (Nanowerk Spotlight) When a ...

Artistic rendering of cellulose regenerating on a plant protoplast cell surface with zoomed out view. Cellulose is synthesized by plasma membrane-bound enzyme complexes (green) and assembles into a ...
