Optogenetic reporters.

The discovery of naturally evolved fluorescent proteins and their subsequent tuning by protein engineering provided the basis for a large family of genetically encoded biosensors that report a variety of physicochemical processes occurring in living tissue. These optogenetic reporters are powerful tools for live-cell microscopy and quantitative analysis at the subcellular level. In this review,...

Clinical Investigative Study

BACKGROUND The need of an early and noninvasive diagnosis of AD requires the development of imagingbased techniques. As an alternative, the magnetic resonance image (MRI) relaxation time constant (T1ρ) was measured in brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild-cognitive impairment (MCI), and age-matched controls in order to determine whether T1ρ values correlated with the neurological diagnosis. ...
