He peered through a microscope at the stained cells and the ... By borrowing a gene from fluorescent jellyfish and inserting it into the DNA of worms or mice in the lab, scientists have made ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Today's super-resolution microscopes have made it possible to observe the nanoscale world with unprecedented detail. However, they require fluorescent tags, which reveal structural details but provide ...

This valuable study shows that locomotion-related modulations in the mouse visual cortex are not uniform but primarily affect neurons in muscarinic receptor-negative patches, which receive projections ...

A confocal microscope is a kind of fluorescent microscope used to obtain high-quality 2D and 3D images. The device is most commonly used to view cells and cell structures, but can be used to ...

Single-molecule fluorescence experiments involve the study of individual fluorescent molecules, and can provide information that would be hidden in measurements involving a large number of molecules.

The molecules, also known as fluorophores, can be attached to a target molecule and act as a marker for analysis with fluorescence microscopy. The fluorophore development used to be dependent on ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement that ...

A study published in Advanced Optical Materials presents a scalable approach for enhancing both the visual and thermal properties of cellulose pulp using fluorescent materials. Using plant-based ...
