The first methodology to measure intracellular temperature is described. A highly hydrophilic fluorescent nanogel thermometer developed for this purpose stays in the cytoplasm and emits stronger fluorescence at a higher temperature. Thus, intracellular temperature variations associated with biological processes can be monitored by this novel thermometer with a temperature resolution of better than 0.5 degrees C.
本文描述了第一种测量细胞内温度的方法。为此目的开发的一种高亲水性荧光纳米凝胶温度计停留在细胞质中,在较高温度下发射更强的荧光。因此,通过这种新型温度计可以监测与生物过程相关的细胞内温度变化,其温度分辨率优于 0.5°C。
