Cytoskeletal live cell imaging is extremely powerful when investigating cellular processes such as cytokinesis, motility and organelle transport and organization. The current experimental

Actin can be stained in living and fixed cells to determine and follow the structure and function of the cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton is a very dynamic and labile structure in the living cell,

SiR-actin and SiR-tubulin kits now contain Verapamil

Actin and Tubulin, as the major cytoskeleton structures, are crucial components of a

For decades researchers have been using the famous Alexa Fluor® dyes developed by Molecular Probes for everything from flow cytometry to oligonucleotide labeling. These sulfonated forms of common fluorophores

G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) and ion channels are important targets in drug development. Both target classes represent membrane proteins which require convenient and robust cell-based assays for

For one year now,  SiR-Actin and SiR-Tubulin, the second generation of tools to stain actin and tubulin in

In their most recent publication

Visualizing fixed cells and tissues only gives snap shots of cellular processes. Over the past years, more and more cellular

In the autumn of 2014, we presented new stains to conduct live cell imaging of Actin and Tubulin, which I covered in my post 2 new Actin and Tubulin live-cell imaging stains – without transfection!

The Silicon Rhodamine-like (SiR) technology has significantly contributed to the recent development of DNA and cytoskeletal analysis by live cell imaging.

Relationship between antitumor effects and active oxygen

ROS (Reactive oxygen species) are highly reactive oxygen species mainly generated during the ATP synthesis process in mitochondria.
