Lipofuscin, lipofuscin-like pigments and autofluorescence
This paper provides a syntethic overview on lipofuscin and lipofuscin-like substances, with particlar reference to their biological significance as well as to their cellular origin and pathophysiological role. Special emphasis is also placed on the mutual relationships between
A slipped-alignment of rhodamine dyes results in pink-to-blue color change
Color originates from absorption and reflection of visible light. The reason that a molecule can absorb a certain color of light is the interaction between molecular electrons and incident light. If the electronic state of a molecule
Fluorescent micro-RNA for cancer diagnostics
Biomarkers are indicators of biological states or conditions and can therefore provide important information about diseases such as cancer. In clinical diagnostics biomarkers are most often proteins or nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. Biomarkers that
