Detecting lysosomal pH with better fluorescent probes

Thursday, April 9, 2015 - 13:30 in Biology & Nature

Detecting problems with lysosomes is the focus of a new set of fluorescent probes. "A lot of diseases are related to problems with lysosome functions," says a chemistry doctoral candidate involved in the study. The researchers have developed the new probes, essentially chemical dyes that illuminate lysosome structures with fluorescence.
