<p>A new method allows scientists to label and image many different molecules at once within a living cell. The technique, developed at MIT, relies on “switchable fluorophores” — fluorescent proteins that turn on and off at a specific rate.</p> <p> </p>
The African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) makes the Congo Basin rainforest what it is today. As a key seed disperser, its dietary habits help construct the giant carbon-sequestering tree community that this rainforest is known for. Without them, the very composition of the forest would change, experts say. On this final episode of the Congo […]
The fibers could help with testing treatments for nerve-related pain. Scientists have a new tool to precisely illuminate the roots of nerve pain. Engineers at MIT have developed soft and implantable fibers that can deliver light to major nerves through the body. When these nerves are genetical
New soft, implantable fibers can deliver light to major nerves through the body. Developed at MIT, they are an experimental tool for scientists to explore the causes and potential treatments for peripheral nerve disorders in animal models.
