NEW IMAGING MOLECULE TO TRACK THE PRODUCTION OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES INSIDE CELLS

摘要

Reactive oxygen species, also known as ROS, are important biological molecules involved in metabolism. However, errors in their production have been implicated in various diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. Unfortunately, researchers lack a selective and sensitive way to accurately track the production of ROS as it happens inside cells.
