Biosensor For Measuring Stress In Cells

Friday, May 16, 2008 - 10:21 in Biology & Nature

Reactive oxygen compounds, including the well-known "free radicals," have an oxidation effect and, thereby, damage cells. However, at low levels, they also regulate key life processes. Scientists have developed a highly sensitive biological measuring system for determining the oxidation state of living cells in real time.
