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

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 ...

Life is aglow — literally. Scientists harness a phenomenon known as fluorescence to reveal the cellular secrets underlying health and disease otherwise destined to remain hidden from view. Imagine a ...

Computational fluorescence microscopy (CFM) requires accurate point spread function (PSF) characterization for high-quality ...

Abiotic stress physiology is a critical field within plant science, particularly as climate change and environmental ...

Using the only imaging modality of its type in the U.S., Moran physician-scientists are working to revolutionize how clinicians diagnose and treat diseases. Moran’s Lydia Sauer, MD, and Paul S.

Researchers continue to seek answers as to how important is fluorescence to the animal kingdom. It turns out that even your cat at home is fluorescent under ultraviolet (UV) light. The latest study ...

Fluorescent anatomy, which recently seemed to be a quirk in unusual animals such as platypuses and opossums, was found in most living families of mammals. By Cara Giaimo At first, it seemed to be ...

Mammals have been discovered to have a secret superpower: nearly all species glow in the dark. Before now, it was thought that only Australian marsupials such as platypuses, wombats, Tasmanian devils ...

Spectacular fluorescence has been spotted in 27 species that we didn't previously know were capable of glowing in the dark. The discoveries were made during a three-year study in the Red Sea in Egypt ...
