Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...

Lanternfishes have light-producing organs on their bodies that are called photophores. This light is created by a chemical reaction, and it is one example of a phenomenon called bioluminescence.

Scientists are hotly pursuing applications for bioluminescent technology, particularly in medical research, where they hope it will change how we treat maladies from cataracts to cancer.

In Panc-1 (harboring KRAS G12D mutation): Bioluminescence or tumor cell numbers decreased in a dose-dependent manner, with the highest-dose group showing the most significant effect ...

In Panc-1 (harbouring KRAS G12D mutation): Bioluminescence or tumor cell numbers decreased dramatically in a dose-dependent manner, with the highest-dose group showing the most significant effect.

Key findings included approximately 70-80% reductions in tumor cell bioluminescence across various pancreatic cancer cell lines, and the therapy's effectiveness in decreasing metastasis to organs ...
