Synthesized Organic Fluorescent Dye used to Image Long Term Live-Cell Interactions

By Anthony Barone , Class of 2029 Figure 1.  Image of cells marked with different fluorescent dyes Organic fluorescent dyes have a wide range of uses, including live single-cell imaging and tracking protein movement. Fluorescent dyes allow biologists to observe protein interactions on the cellular level. However, current fluorescent dyes are only visible for tens of seconds before photobleaching, where they are chemically destroyed as … Continue reading Synthesized Organic Fluorescent Dye used to Image Long Term Live-Cell Interactions

Radiation-Induced Cognitive Decline Impairs Hippocampal Neurogenesis

Vignesh Subramanian ’24 Figure 1: A radiograph captured by X-ray, which produces ionizing radiation, a form of radiation that poses risks of damage to internal tissue. Ionizing radiation is any radiation traveling in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles with enough energy to knock electrons out of the orbit of atoms. While therapies such as radiotherapy for cancer are intended to emit ionizing radiation … Continue reading Radiation-Induced Cognitive Decline Impairs Hippocampal Neurogenesis
