Stem Cell Biology in Cancer Research
The comprehension of stem cell biology and its molecular basis is now acquiring paramount importance in cancer research. The need to look at a single, possibly living, cell makes fluorescence…
From Molecules to Tissues
Cancer research using confocal and multiphoton microscopy.
Sequencing of the human genome stimulated a radical change in the approach to biomedical research. The comprehension of the mechanisms…
4D Photoactivation of pa-GFP in Living Cells Using Two-Photon Excitation Laser Scanning Microscopy
We report about two-photon activation of a photoactivatable derivative of the Aequorea Victoria green fluorescent protein (pa-GFP). This special form of the molecule increases its fluorescence…
