Evidence also suggests that bioluminescence can be a sign of changes in the environment, includingpollutionandglobal warming. Environmental changes can cause low oxygen and high nitrogen and phosphorus levels in the water. Toxic dinoflagellates tend to reproduce and grow rapidly in such conditions, resu...
Deep-sea creatures have evolved some fascinating adaptations such as bioluminescence, eyes that can see in low light, and mouths that can engulf much larger prey. Some species, such as the deep-sea dragonfish (Aristostomias scintillans), have transparent teeth. "It's an adaptation that, to our...
When these three chemicals come together in the presence of oxygen,they glow in a process calledbioluminescence(the emission of light by living organisms). The lightning bug can turn the glow on and off by controlling the flow of oxygen into the lantern. Now, fireflies don't have lungs, so...

The most common optical imaging techniques are fluorescent imaging (FI), bioluminescence imaging (BI), and quantum dots (QD). FI offers a high-resolution visualisation of small numbers of cells, but the method is invasive [95,96]. However, due to tissue attenuation and refraction, this method...
2015, 16 11915 subacute (48 h), and chronic phase (7 days) in rats by DWI and ADC mapping and correlated these results with ATP-specific bioluminescence imaging and histology. They reported no homogeneous area of ADC alteration between both hemispheres in any of the selected regions and also...
