This post was contributed by guest blogger Daria Shcherbakova, a faculty member at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Several sets of near-infrared fluorescent proteins (NIR FPs) and biosensors have been created recently. As developers of many of these probes, we decided to ...
Until recently, there were no completely genetic tools that would allow researchers to label just a fraction of a single genetically-defined subset of cells. By labeling fewer cells in a population, it’s easier to visualize individual/non-overlapping cells. While transgenic ...
We are excited about our new partnership with Allele Biotechnology which allows researchers to deposit plasmids containing the fluorescent protein mNeonGreen. This fluorescent protein joins mTFP1 and mWasabi, as fluorophores from Allele Biotechnology that now can be deposited at ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger, Eugenia Rojas. A question worthy of a PhD: How do you visualize protein turnover within a neuron? For my PhD I studied a synaptic protein that is linked to neurodegeneration. The level of this protein is decreased in Alzheimer’s ...
This post was contributed by Doug Richardson, Director of the Harvard Center for Biological Imaging and a Lecturer on Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University. No matter whether you are a sports photographer at the Super Bowl, a medical technologist taking an x-ray, ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger, Luke Lavis, a Group Leader at the Janelia Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Chemistry is dead, long live chemistry! The discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP) sparked a renaissance in biological imaging. Suddenly, ...
Since the first research applications of GFP were published in the 1990s, biologists have spent a lot of time making things glow. Chances are you’ve used a GFP derivative to conduct subcellular localization studies or make a reporter construct. Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are ...
