1. Groove-binding Unsymmetrical Cyanine Dyes for DNA Applications
Abstract : This work focuses on interactions between DNA and a group of newly developed unsymmetrical cyanine dyes. The aim of the work was to discover fluorescent dyes that can be used in biophysical studies of natural DNA where minimum perturbation of the DNA-helix is essential, where a slow dissociation rate of the dyes is needed and where the ionic strength is an important parameter.

2. Tailoring Fluorescent Probes for Organelle-Specific Imaging and Sensing
Abstract : Exploring and visualizing biological and pathological processes in living cells are useful for both fundamental research and applications. An understanding on the molecular level for these processes with focus on tracking biomarkers, collecting information about their surroundings, and uncovering essential molecular pathways and functions in live cells are of vital interest for cell biological study and clinical diagnosis application.

3. Expanding the alphabet of fluorescent nucleic acid base analogues: Characterization of new members
Abstract : Fluorescence has proven to be a powerful tool for studying structure, dynamics and interactions of biomolecules such as proteins, RNA and DNA. However, since the natural DNA/RNA nucleobases are virtually non-fluorescent, there is a need for developing fluorescent nucleic acid markers. READ MORE

5. Pitfalls in β-cell ion imaging with fluorescent indicators and their use for real-time detection of somatostatin secretion
Abstract : Fluorescent ion indicators have become indispensable tools in cell physiology. Dye indicators can easily be loaded into most types of cells, while genetically encoded indicators are advantageous in allowing specific cellular or subcellular targeting. READ MORE
