Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) has emerged as a transformative technique that facilitates non‐invasive, real‐time observation of molecular and cellular processes. By utilising luciferase enzymes in ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

On one level, we have fireflies figured out. We know the enzyme they use to make light (called luciferase), as well as the chemicals they use in the light-generating reaction. We know them so well ...

The gene encoding an enzyme from a firefly, discovered at the Sorocaba campus of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in Brazil, has given rise to a biosensor capable of detecting pH changes ...

A new study looks at the development of a firefly's light-emitting organs. Neat, thanks for sharing. Coincidentally, on my other computer screen I'm working with the DNA sequence of firefly luciferase ...

In a recent study published in ACS Central Science, researchers used a luciferase-independent luminescence test to investigate whether the wild-type severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

Luciferase-based reporter cell lines are invaluable for detecting cellular responses to signaling pathways in vitro, enabling high-throughput screening and profiling of inhibitors or activators. In ...
