It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

Green fluorescent protein The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is protein composed of 238 amino acids (26.9kDa), which exhibits bright green fluorescence when exposed to blue light.

New fluorescent drug lights up nerve tissue under special imaging equipment, giving surgeons a visual edge during procedure.

Fluorescent proteins are proteins that absorb light and re-emit it at a longer wavelength. They can be genetically encoded as fusions to other proteins to act as labels. Wei, Bai, Wang, and ...

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

This important study looks into the effect of exogenous CoA on the response of TLR4-activated macrophages. Specifically, CoA enhances the LPS response by examining metabolomics, 13C tracing, and ...
