Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy with Autofluorescent Proteins
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a versatile technique operating at the single-molecule level, that successfully meets many challenges...
-
Yeast as a model for ageing and apoptosis research
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death with a crucial role in health and disease in metazoans. Recent findings demonstrate the existence of an...
