Biophotonics in Cell Biology Studies

Biophotonics is a branch of science where the interaction between biological substances as well as light is used for probing, manipulating and imaging cells and tissues. This emerging technique is widely used in various fields such as medicine, agriculture, and in studies related to life science and environment.

			Researchers explore new method of destroying tumor cells Researchers from Lomonosov MSU Faculty of Biology have studied the stages of entosis, a process of cell death when one cell invades the other and gets digested inside of it. Entosis could become a new method of destroying cancer cells.

			Two studies show how cells adapt to stressors by reprogramming internal signaling networks In a pair of publications, researchers have shown how cells adapt to stressors--like water loss--by reprogramming their internal signaling networks.

	Scientists identify new strategies used by Helicobacter pylori to target mitochondria Helicobacter pylori is a bacterial pathogen that colonizes the stomach of approximately half of the world's population. Infection with H. pylori is acquired in childhood and lasts for decades.

	Cell-Matrix Adhesion Overview Tissue structures are determined by both cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion, with the latter describing interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is the collection of collagen fibers, proteoglycans and multi-adhesive matrix proteins that are secreted by cells to form an essential support structure.

	Full-Capability AFM in an Inverted Optical Microscope – MFP-3D-Bio™ The Asylum Research MFP-3D-BIO™ establishes the standard for incorporating AFM and optical microscopy for bioscience research.

	BiFC Applications In almost all cellular processes, there involves a complex protein network. Several high-throughput screening technologies are in use for discovering the enormous protein interaction networks.
