Fluorescent probes operating in the near-infrared (NIR) region have emerged as indispensable tools for visualising biological processes in vitro and in vivo. By exploiting wavelengths beyond 700 nm, ...

Fluorescent probes constitute a versatile class of molecular tools designed to emit light upon excitation, enabling the visualisation of biological structures and processes across scales from single ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

A novel fluorescent probe called PFQX1 (AF488) was developed to label AMPA receptors upon living brain cells. By simply sprinkling the probe, the researchers could quickly see where AMPA receptors ...

Fluorescent probes have transformed modern biology by allowing researchers to tag and visualize individual molecules in living cells, tissues, and animals. Using these tools, researchers can watch ...

Maciej J. Stawikowski, Ph.D., senior author and an assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry at FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. “It’s well known that lipids and Alzheimer’s are ...

Fluorescence imaging can be conducted with long Stokes shift dyes that minimize crosstalk between the excitation source and fluorescent emission to improve the signal-to-background ratio. Regardless, ...

Recurring influenza epidemics, such as the one during World War I, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak in the 2010s, and the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years have ...

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 ...

Fluorescent proteins have revolutionized science, enabling researchers to tag and visualize individual molecules in living cells, tissues, and animals. Using these tools, researchers have watched ...
