Gene expression studies can monitor biological processes using a “molecular beacon” (single-stranded DNA, ssDNA), a ...

Single benzene-based fluorophores with absorption wavelengths above 600 nm are ideal for bioimaging. Recently, scientists ...

Fluorescence microscopy is one of the most powerful tools in the life-sciences toolkit. The unique spectral properties of fluorescent dyes and proteins, collectively called fluorophores, have allowed ...

Flow cytometry is a single-cell analytical technique that uses fluorophore-labeled cell structures or biomarkers to differentiate between cell populations. Through this method, researchers detect the ...

Scientists address decades-long problem in the field of single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer, paving the way for more accurate experiments. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research ...

Striking the Right Balance between Signal Strength and Long-Term Cell Health A key challenge with live-cell fluorescence imaging is the ability to visualize weak fluorescent signals over background ...
