Serotonin in depression is highly relevant in diagnosis, treatment, and drug development. To better study this area, a Chinese team has now developed a fluorescent probe for imaging processes that is ...

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 ...

Cutting-edge fluorescent cholesterol probes now enable scientists to visualize cholesterol movement and distribution in live cells with unprecedented detail. By combining computer simulations with ...

Researchers have developed a new, more accurate method for determining the degree of labeling in fluorescence microscopy. An international collaboration of researchers led by the University of ...

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 ...

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 ...

How clean are the cooking oils we use in our homes? What about the cooking oils used at restaurants? Recently, a team of researchers at POSTECH – often called ‘fluorescent alchemists’ – has developed ...

Scientists monitor dynamic cellular events in real time with live cell imaging and detection techniques. A variety of approaches allow researchers to capture events missed by traditional methods that ...

Article reviewed by Govind Kaigala, PhD at the University of British Columbia. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. In situ hybridization (ISH) is a molecular technique that ...
