  NEW DYE FOR LONG–TERM LYSOSOME TRACKING

  The morphological alteration of lysosome is a powerful indicator of various pathological disorders. In this regards, we have designed and synthesized a new water soluble fluorescent Schiff-base ligand (L-lyso) containing two hydroxyl groups. L-lyso exhibits excellent two-photon properties with tracking of lysosomes in live cells as well as 3D tumor spheroids. Further, it can label lysosomes for more than 3 days. Thus, L-lyso has an edge over commercially available expensive LysoTracker probes and also over other reported probes in terms of its long-term imaging, water solubility and facile synthesis.

  HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES

  The research group on Innovation Studies focuses on issues related to R&D, patenting, technological progress, patent policy and economic growth. Recently, we have studied the impact of technological specialization on the export performance of countries including developing and developed. We use patenting data to measure the technological specialization of countries in different fields by calculating revealed technology advantage (RTA) index and revealed patent advantage (RPA) index. Figures 1 and 2 depict the RTA index in different fields of technology for selected developing and developed countries respectively.
