Green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria and its homologs from
diverse marine animals are widely used as universal genetically encoded fluorescent labels …

Two-photon excitation of fluorescent proteins is an attractive approach for imaging living
systems. Today researchers are eager to know which proteins are the brightest and what the …

Streptococcus mutans is a key contributor to the formation of the extracellular
polysaccharide (EPS) matrix in dental biofilms. The exopolysaccharides, which are mostly …

Two‐photon excitation microscopy is an alternative to confocal microscopy that provides
advantages for three‐dimensional and deep tissue imaging. This unit will describe the basic …

We investigate the performance of CC2 and TDDFT/CAM-B3LYP for the calculation of two-
photon absorption (TPA) strengths and cross sections and contrast our results to a recent …

We demonstrate that channelrhodopsin-2 (CR), a light-gated ion channel that is
conventionally activated by using visible-light excitation, can also be activated by using IR …

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria can be used as a
genetically encoded fluorescence marker due to its autocatalytic formation of the …

Imaging has become an indispensable tool in the study of cancer biology and in clinical
prognosis and treatment. The rapid advances in high resolution fluorescent imaging at …

Nanobiotechnology is one of the fastest growing and broadest‐ranged interdisciplinary
subfields of the nanosciences. Countless hybrid bio‐inorganic composites are currently …

The way in which photons travel through biological tissues and subsequently become
scattered or absorbed is a key limitation for traditional optical medical imaging techniques …
