Molecular Movies Enhance Bioimaging, Health Research
CORVALLIS, Ore., and EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, July 2, 2014 — While they won’t be hitting the red carpet anytime soon, bioimaging and health research are becoming molecular movie stars. A team from Oregon State University and the University of Alberta has created a biosensor imaging system that allows scientists to view life processes at the molecular level — as they are happening. This could lead to the creation of more effective biosensors capable of studying in real time and on video everything from cell metabolism and nerve impulses,
