How are Fluorescent Proteins Used in Cancer Research?
In cancer research, fluorescent proteins are extensively used to study several aspects of cancer biology. They can be genetically encoded and expressed in cancer cells, allowing researchers to visualize and track tumor growth, metastasis, and the effects of various treatments in real time. They enable the study of dynamic processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis within living organisms or in vitro models.
