Their findings suggest that calcium ions can selectively influence how primitive polymers form, shedding light on a long-standing mystery: how life's molecules came to prefer a single "handedness ...

MCF10A cells co-expressing ER-FlucDM-eGFP and ER-FlucDM-mCherry for FRAP or co-expressing ER-FlucDM- mCherry and mGreenLantern-hGeminin (degron) were generated by lentivirus transduction and selected ...

All of these approaches can be used for visualization of the phosphorylation state as fluorescent images, but not for real-time monitoring of phosphorylation in live cells. By microinjecting ...

Hoeschst stains dye condensed chromatin in apoptotic cells brighter than chromatin in viable cells. Fluorescent dyes can also be used for more specific applications like calcium signaling. For example ...

A simple optical aptasensor has been synthesized for the detection of calcium ions. This sensing approach employs a semiconductor quantum dot (QD)–gold nanoparticle as the donor–quencher pair and ...

Sphingosine can increase the concentration of calcium ions inside the cells, and when converted to a molecule called sphingosine 1 phosphate it forms a signaling molecule that regulates fundamental ...
