  1. 1
    A single-wavelength excitable brainbow for simultaneous multicolor ex vivo and in vivo imaging of mammalian cells.

    "Here, we report the development of a single-wavelength excitable Brainbow, UFObow, incorporating three newly developed blue-excitable FPs. We have demonstrated that UFObow enables not only tracking the growth dynamics of tumor cells in vivo but also mapping spatial distribution of immune cells within a sub-cubic centimeter tissue, revealing cell heterogeneity."
