The University of Cincinnati's Jiajie Diao and Yujie Sun have a simple approach to research: Keep an open mind, and follow the data wherever it leads. This means even accidental findings are taken ...

Cancer is a universal issue that affects uncountably many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope that a surgeon will be able to completely remove a tumor, leaving healthy ...

A novel fluorescent probe called PFQX1 (AF488) was developed to label AMPA receptors upon living brain cells. By simply sprinkling the probe, the researchers could quickly see where AMPA receptors ...

Fluorescent probes have emerged as a pivotal tool in the detection and imaging of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in biological systems. HOCl, a potent reactive oxygen species generated predominantly by ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. Watanabe and coworkers tested the probe with colon cancer tissue samples in 96-well plates. The probe revealed the presence of colibactin-producing ...

A team of researchers led by Prof. Jiang Changlong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a fast and simple way to detect harmful pesticide ...

The field of fluorescent probes tailored for nitroreductase (NTR) detection and imaging has experienced significant advancements. These probes leverage the unique catalytic property of NTR, which ...

NUS chemists have developed a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe for studying cellular activity of the clinically important anticancer drug cisplatin for next generation drug development. Since its ...

Researchers are turning up the brightness on a group of fluorescent probes that are used to monitor biological activities of individual proteins in real-time. This latest advance enhances their ...

Researchers at Cornell University are working on improving the trial-and-error process that is implicated in finding effective molecules for drug delivery ...

Probes used in life-cell fluorescence imaging must be able to penetrate cells and bind specifically to the protein of interest. Ideally, such probes also increase their fluorescence intensity when ...
