Bioluminescent luciferase enzymes have historically been too dim to use as probes in living tissue. But recent advances have ...

Japanese researchers used a nonviral piggyBac system to genetically modify cynomolgus monkeys, enabling more accurate disease ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic".

Researchers have discovered that a protein acts as a "self-avoidance enforcer" to ensure color-detecting cells in the retina ...

Transgenic animals continue to play an essential role in many aspects of zebrafish research, including the development of disease models. The most widely used system for zebrafish transgenesis is the ...

Microglia are brain-resident macrophages playing pivotal roles in CNS development and homeostasis. Yet, the cellular and molecular basis governing microglia maintenance ...

To develop the lines of fluorescent green, pink and orange colours using fluorescent proteins, a domesticated albino was used as founder. Genetic modifications: All three lines of GloFish® Corydoras ...
