New technology could help in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases Research at the University of Edinburgh has developed new chemical probes which allow them to track the activity in cells as they interact with molecules such as glucose. The technique allows the researchers to track behaviour in live cells using microscopes. The team hope to be able to expand their technique to look for activity related to other molecules to help improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The work was led by Dr Marc Vendrell from the Edinburgh Medical School, with imaging work contributed to by Dr Mathew Horrocks and his group in the School of Chemistry.
