We recently proposed a method that allows dichoptic visual stimulus presentation and binocular eye tracking simultaneously1. The key is the combination of an infrared eye tracker and the corresponding infrared-transparent mirrors. This manuscript provides an in depth protocol for initial setup and everyday operation.

Source: Tamara M. Powers, Department of Chemistry, Texas A&M University Today's modern world requires the use of a large amount of energy. While we harness energy from fossil fuels such as coal and oil, these sources are nonrenewable and thus the supply is limited. To maintain our global lifestyle, we must extract energy from renewable sources. The most promising renewable source, in terms of abundance, is the sun, which provides us with more than enough solar energy to fully fuel our...

Successful use of cell tracking dyes to monitor immune cell function and proliferation involves several critical steps. We describe methods for: 1) obtaining bright, uniform, reproducible label-ing with membrane dyes; 2) selecting fluorochromes and data acquisition conditions; and 3) choosing a model to quantify cell proliferation based on dye dilution.

FM Dyes in Vesicle Recycling

2023
FM dyes are a class of fluorescent molecules that has found important use in studying the vesicle recycling process. By virtue of a chemical structure, these molecules can insert themselves into the outer leaflet of phospholipid bilayer membranes. After membrane insertion, they are internalized into the cell via endocytosed vesicles, and released when these vesicles recycle back to the membrane. Since, these dyes fluoresce strongly in the hydrophobic environment within membranes and weakly in...

FAQs
These probes generally enter cells in a membrane-permeable form. Inside the cell, intracellular conversion or binding changes the probe into a retained fluorescent signal. That retention is what makes repeated observation possible, because the label remains associated with the cells as they are examined by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
When a labeled cell divides, its fluorescent signal can be inherited by the resulting cells and diluted between them. Tracking changes in signal intensity therefore provides an indirect way to identify successive rounds of proliferation. This feature helps connect observed cell behavior with lineage patterns in cultures or tissues.
Fluorescence microscopy reveals where labeled cells are located and can support observations of movement within cultures or tissues. Flow cytometry instead measures fluorescence across analyzed cell populations, making it useful for assessing labeling patterns and signal changes among many cells. The two approaches provide complementary spatial and population-level information.
A retained fluorescent signal can support observations of cell movement, persistence, and changes associated with division. By following labeled cells over time, investigators can relate their fluorescence patterns to proliferation, differentiation, or survival. These readouts are especially useful when cellular behavior must be connected with events occurring across a culture or tissue.
A typical workflow begins by applying the fluorescent probe to living cells so it can enter them in a membrane-permeable form. After intracellular conversion or binding produces a retained signal, the labeled cells are followed over time using fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. The resulting observations can then be related to movement, division, differentiation, or survival.
They are useful when researchers need to follow defined living-cell populations through time rather than observe only a single endpoint. Applications include examining migration, proliferation, differentiation, lineage behavior, and interactions within cultures or tissues. In broader biology, these measurements can support studies of developmental, immunological, and disease-related processes.
