Novel probes offer excellent brightness and long life in cellular applications.

Lynn M. Savage, Associate News Editor

Where would modern biomedical research be today without fluorescent probes? Some would argue that it would be blindly groping down a dark alley, with no efficient means of discovering the finely honed interplay of proteins and other substances in the human body, especially at the cellular and molecular levels. But such probes do exist, whether as dyelike molecules, artificial metallic dots or a number of other brightly glowing forms. Still, there is room for improvement among the probes — more brightness and greater endurance, for example — and there remain biological...Read full article
