Bioluminescence is the natural chemical process of light creation in some living creatures that makes fireflies flicker and some jellyfish glow. Scientists have long been interested in borrowing the ...

Genetically encoded sensors and actuators have advanced the ability to observe and manipulate cellular activity, yet few non-invasive strategies enable cells to ...

Bioluminescence imaging harnesses the light produced by enzyme-catalysed oxidation of small-molecule substrates to visualise biological processes with exceptional sensitivity and minimal background.

Scientists can label cells with bioluminescent probes—proteins that glow—making it possible to track the growth of a tumor, or measure changes in gene expression that occur as cells differentiate.

Imaging live cells with fluorescent proteins has long been a crucial technique for understanding cellular behavior. While bioluminescent proteins offer several advantages over fluorescent proteins, ...

Researchers have discovered a groundbreaking use of terahertz (THz) imaging to visualize cochlear structures in mice, offering non-invasive, high-resolution diagnostics. By creating 3D reconstructions ...

The de novo designed protiens can emit multiple colors of light, which could allow a researcher or clinician to monitor various different biological feature. Bioluminescence is the natural chemical ...
