A near-infrared fluorescence imaging probe that binds to brown adipose vasculature and emits skin-penetrating fluorescence that can be picked up from the outside by a highly sensitive camera can be used to distinguish between "good" and "bad" adipose (fat) tissue.
Journal Highlight: Optimization of lipid production for algal biodiesel in nitrogen stressed cells of Dunaliella salina using FTIR analysis
spectroscopyNOW
Sep 30, 2013
A study of the rates of growth and lipid accumulation in Dunaliella salina showed that the trade-off between lipid content, growth rate and cell density needs to be considered for optimisation of lipid productivity for biodiesel.
Journal Highlight: Simultaneously probing two ultrafast condensed-phase molecular symmetry breaking events by two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy
spectroscopyNOW
Sep 2, 2013
Direct evidence is presented for two types of solvent-mediated symmetry-breaking events that coexist on the picosecond timescale in a highly symmetric anion in a condensed phase, using 2D IR spectroscopy.

Protein Science, the flagship journal of The Protein Society, serves an international forum for publishing original reports on all scientific aspects of protein molecules. The Journal publishes papers by leading scientists from all over the world that report on advances in the understanding of proteins in the broadest sense. Protein Science aims to unify this field by cutting across established disciplinary lines and focusing on “protein-centered” science.
