A LED light that illuminates an organ in the human body

According to Russian media reported on March 25th, scientists at Osaka University in Japan and the Institute of Chemical Sciences in Japan have successfully developed luminescent proteins after a series of experiments. This protein can be used in medical research. Especially in the detection of cancer and other diseases, this protein is often necessary, can help to "lighting" the internal organs of the human body.

This new method of detecting disease differs from X fluoroscopy in its absolute safety and can be used several times over a short time interval. In addition, the protein is completely free of toxicity. Therefore, this monitoring method can continuously monitor the process of inflammation and the development of tumor in human body. Depending on the kind of protein, it can appear green, yellow, or light blue.

Because the fluorescent protein developed in the past is weak, it can be absorbed by hemoglobin completely. Japanese scientists have hybridized the two commonly used biological polymers that look like jellyfish and algae in medicine". They then added blue green plant pigments to the "hybrid" substance. As a result, the brightness of the protein was increased by 20 times.

"This technology can also be used for street lighting," said a professor at the Osaka University and head of the research project. If the fluorescent protein can be successfully implanted in trees, the world will change the city's face, it is not necessary to ordinary street lights exist."
