Second-Generation Drosophila Chemical Tags: Sensitivity, Versatility, and Speed
Labeling and visualizing cells and subcellular structures within thick tissues, whole organs, and even intact animals is key to studying biological processes. This is particularly true for studies of neural circuits where neurons form submicron synapses but have arbors that may span millimeters in length. Traditionally, labeling is achieved by immunofluorescence; however, diffusion of antibody ...
متن کاملSecond-generation optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy with improved sensitivity and speed.
We developed second-generation (G2) optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM). Incorporation of a novel acoustic detection scheme improved upon the sensitivity of our first-generation (G1) system by 18.4 dB, deepening the in vivo tissue penetration to 1.2 mm at 570 nm. Moreover, translating the imaging head instead of the living object accelerated the scanning speed by a factor of 5,...
متن کاملThe chemical versatility of RNA.
The ability of RNA to both store genetic information and catalyse chemical reactions has led to the hypothesis that it predates DNA and proteins. While there is no doubt that RNA is capable of storing the genetic information of a primitive organism, only two classes of reactions-phosphoryl transfer and peptide bond formation-have been observed to be catalysed by RNA in nature. However, these na...
متن کاملThe chemical and biological versatility of riboflavin.
Since their discovery and chemical characterization in the 1930s, flavins have been recognized as being capable of both one- and two-electron transfer processes, and as playing a pivotal role in coupling the two-electron oxidation of most organic substrates to the one-electron transfers of the respiratory chain. In addition, they are now known as versatile compounds that can function as electro...
متن کاملWalking Modulates Speed Sensitivity in Drosophila Motion Vision
Changes in behavioral state modify neural activity in many systems. In some vertebrates such modulation has been observed and interpreted in the context of attention and sensorimotor coordinate transformations. Here we report state-dependent activity modulations during walking in a visual-motor pathway of Drosophila. We used two-photon imaging to monitor intracellular calcium activity in motion...
