The thymus is a crucial training ground for T-cells, the body's "white knights," where they learn to battle the various diseases they may encounter. Thymic function shrinks to nearly nothing as we age ...

In many animals, skin coloration and its patterns play a crucial role in camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation. In ...

Researchers at HSE University and the Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis of the Russian Academy of Sciences have discovered ...

You know those little glow-in-the-dark stars that dot the ceilings of children’s rooms? Yeah, I didn’t have stars. Instead, I ...

Yttrium, a key component in fluorescent lamps and light emitting diodes, poses particular recycling challenges despite its high concentration in such materials. Here, we present an innovative ...

Most of the glowing colors fall into that green to yellow-green range, shining brightest around ... that these dazzling birds might have yet another visual trick: a layer of fluorescent signals ...

Leo Kiss says: “Surprisingly, already three ubiquitin molecules were sufficient to effectively recycle the fluorescent protein. However, this code can be lost when these ubiquitins are not formed on ...

Separating the IAE and SPE processes using on-chip valves allowed appropriate eluents to be used with each monolith, while keeping the protein labeling reagents away from the IAE monolith. This ...

If this is the case, then in the GFP host–RFP tumour model such fused cells should be yellow, showing the usefulness of fluorescent proteins in addressing these important questions. Duda et al.

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

The virus can replicate in these secondary neurons, which is a helpful trait for scientists hoping to track a fluorescent signal ... was mediated by interactions between the viral envelope protein ...
