Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy can be used to differentiate benign lesions such as dermal naevus, sebaceous hyperplasia, and seborrhoeic keratosis from malignant lesions such as BCC.

Gene expression studies can monitor biological processes using a “molecular beacon” (single-stranded DNA, ssDNA), a ...

Duetta is a highly sensitive spectrofluorometer that can be used to measure transferrin at very low concentrations. By ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Fluorescent anatomy, which recently seemed to be a quirk in unusual animals such as platypuses and opossums, was found in most living families of mammals. By Cara Giaimo At first, it seemed to be ...

Mammals have been discovered to have a secret superpower: nearly all species glow in the dark. Before now, it was thought that only Australian marsupials such as platypuses, wombats, Tasmanian devils ...

When conducting fluorescence imaging in various medical applications, practitioners typically use a powdered dye known as Indocyanine Green (ICG). ICG emits fluorescence between 750 and 950 nanometers ...

Striking the Right Balance between Signal Strength and Long-Term Cell Health A key challenge with live-cell fluorescence imaging is the ability to visualize weak fluorescent signals over background ...

Provepharm is advancing surgical precision with plans to launch two innovative dyes in 2026, supporting minimally invasive ...
