recently published in the American journal Cell, the Japanese Institute of Science and Chemistry has developed a new technology that can be seen at a glance whether cells are proliferating or dormantUsing two proteins that emit red-green fluorescence, the technology is able to distinguish the cancer's "activity" by color while it survivesThe researchers implanted the genetic genes of the two fluorescent proteins found in shia corals in Okinawa Prefecture into human cancer cellsThe increase in the cell during the "proliferation period" was identified by green fluorescent protein, and the increase in the "sleep period" by red fluorescent protein was used to distinguish the proliferation level of different cellsReported that the technology can help humans to understand the structure of cancer cells, identify good malignanttumorand evaluate the efficacy of anti-cancer drugsCells have a proliferative and dormant periodCells replicate DNA during proliferation and divide continuously, while cells stop proliferating during sleepIn the past, to investigate the stage at which a cell was in, tissue needed to be removed and dyed withdrug, which could not be observed immediately when the cell was alive
