Magnetic resonance control of spin-correlated radical pairs alters red fluorescent protein emission in transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans, demonstrating in vivo magnetic field modulation of biomolecula...

New study shows how engineered proteins can be tracked with an MRI-like approach

The discovery that some fluorescent proteins are sensitive to magnets could lead to the development of switchable drugs and biosensors.

A recently developed class of magneto-sensitive fluorescent proteins are engineered to alter the properties of their response to magnetic fields and radio frequencies, enabling multimodal sensing of b...

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

Researchers could use quantum effects to develop new types of medical imaging inside cells themselves.

The programmability of synthetic cells, comprising lipid vesicles that are capable of imitating the structure and function of living cells, facilitates their application as drug delivery devices. Now,...

Several fluorescent proteins, when expressed in E. coli, are sensitive to weak magnetic fields. We found that mScarlet3 fluorescence in E. coli reversibly decreased by 21% in the presence of a 60 mT m...

Targeted protein degradation is a powerful therapeutic approach: expanding the druggable proteome, providing enhanced selectivity, and having the ability to overcome conventional resistance mechanisms...

Several fluorescent proteins, when expressed in E. coli, are sensitive to weak magnetic fields1. We found that mScarlet3 fluorescence in E. coli reversibly decreased by 21% in the presence of a 60 mT ...

Since its founding over twenty five years ago PLOS has been dedicated to advancing open science, ensuring that knowledge is accessible to…

Evolvability—the capacity to generate adaptive variation—is a trait that can itself evolve through natural selection. However, the idea that mutation can become biased toward adaptive outcomes remains...
