The use of small molecules as fluorescent DNA markers has been extensively explored since the mid-1960s, revealing limitations in designing selective probes due to the largely missing relationship ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage ...

DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) is a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique that achieves single-molecule ‘blinking’ by transient DNA hybridization.

This footage shows the fluorescent sensors in action inside a living cell. They appear as bright green spots the moment they bind to sites of DNA damage. Cancer research, drug safety testing and ...
