Luminescent protein: a LED lamp can illuminate the human internal organs

In March 25th, according to Russian media reports, Japan's Osaka University and RIKEN scientists through a series of experiments successfully developed luminous protein. This protein can be used for medical research. Especially in the detection of tumor and other diseases, this protein is often necessary, can contribute to the "lighting" human internal organs.

This new way of detecting the disease with X light perspective difference lies in its absolute safety, and in a relatively short time interval can be used several times. In addition, this protein has no toxicity. Therefore, application of this monitoring method can be developed for monitoring the body's inflammatory process and tumor. According to the type of protein, it can appear green, yellow, or pale blue.

Because the previous developed light emitting fluorescent protein is weak, and will be completely absorbed hemoglobin. Japanese scientists have two kinds of medicine commonly used in biological polymers looks like a jellyfish and seaweed are hybrid". They later in the "hybrid" material adding pigment blue and green plants. The results of this protein luminance is increased by 20 times.

Professor of Osaka University, the research project official said: "the future of this technology can also be used for street lighting. If this kind of fluorescent protein can successfully implanted into the tree, the whole world will change the appearance of the city, there is no need to have common street."
