  1. Shedding Light on Cellular Pathways: Insights from Dual-Reporter Vectors

    Dual Reporter Vector

    Cells constantly sense and adapt to their environment. Nutrients, stress, and signaling molecules can switch genes on or off, and tracking these events is crucial for understanding cell behavior, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic responses. But how can we observe these molecular conversations in real
