FEATURES
Smart Probe Captures Biomarker Sequence A smart probe is a hairpin oligonucleotide, essentially a string of nucleic acids, that is labeled with a fluorophore on one end and tethered with successive guanosine residues on the other end....
Plasmonics and Microfluidics Speed Detection of Lyme Disease When a person develops Lyme disease from a tick bite, identifying the tiny culprit can be challenging. The insect itself is difficult to see in the grass or forested area it comes from before...
Multiplex Imaging Captures Cellular Processes Ongoing innovations in optical microscopy have fueled life science research, allowing scientists to visualize how complex biological systems work and break down. These developments have required...
Light Sheet Microscopy Enables 3D Pathology Pathology for cancer diagnosis today relies on manual processing and an individual’s assessment of 2D samples. While this method has been established for over a century, the process has limitations....
EDITORIAL
Detecting early-stage Lyme Lyme disease continues to infect a large swath of the population in North America. The reliance on the standard two-tiered serodiagnostic test to identify its presence has proved problematic because the bacteria that cause the disease — Borrelia burgdorferi — can be difficult to trace in the early stages. Some in the biomedical community are pinning their hopes for reliable testing on...

BIOPINION
Light therapy and skin treatment: Healing begins beneath the surface Low-level light therapy uses low incidence levels of photon energy to target tissue to achieve a clinically useful effect without resulting in unintended heat or damage. It has shown dramatic beneficial effects when used for wound healing, pain management, and skin rejuvenation, but it has been slow to receive clinical acceptance. Lasers are more widely used for these types of treatments, but...

Scientists follow fruit fly guidance system A possible key to developing reliable navigation in autonomous vehicles may have been found through a window into the fruit fly’s brain. With the aid of live calcium imaging and two- photon microscopy, Northwestern University researchers recorded brain activity in neurons located at the base of the flies’ antennae that process external temperature signals. The team put Drosophila melanogaster...
