Let Your Light Shine

Bacterial cytokinesis: Let the light shine in

Recent application of fluorescence microscopy to the study of the bacterial cell cycle has revealed the existence of a cytoskeletal element - once thought to occur only in eukaryotic cells - that mediates cytokinesis, and possibly another involved in chromosome segregation.

The JCB will let your data shine in RGB

CMYK vs. RGB Color images are printed on paper by separating their colors into four component parts: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ( CMYK ). Each of the colors in an image is created by assigning a percentage from 0–100 to each of the aforementioned colors (for example, a red color could be created from 0% cyan, 100% yellow, 100% magenta, and 0% black). The color image is then printed on a m...

Vitamin D and HIV: shine a light

Over the past several years there has been growing interest in the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in both the general population and among people living with HIV infection. Vitamin D deficiency in the setting of HIV infection is likely multi-factorial with contributions from environmental factors as well as possible associations with HIV therapy. This lecture will highlight recent data...

Let There Be Light!

The invention of the microscope has been fundamental for the understanding of tissue architecture and subcellular structures. With the advancement of higher magnification microscopes came the development of various molecular biology tools such as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and in situ proximity ligation assay (in situ PLA) to monitor protein interactions. Microscopy has become a c...
