Research funded in part by the NHLBI shows green fluorescent RNA helps reveal the inner workings of living cells: 1.usa.gov/1zatoaL. Scientists have been using fluorescent proteins, ultraviolet light and optical microscopes since the 1990s to tag and observe living cells. This groundbreaking technique, based on a naturally occurring protein found in bioluminescent jellyfish, garnered a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Subsequent research has focused not only on improving protein tagging and tracking but also developing similar methods for studying the role of RNA in cellular activity.
