The researchers tinkered with the fish's DNA so that a protein present only in neurons would fluoresce when the neurons were firing.

Proteins from jellyfish and corals that fluoresce in the visible wavelength range have revolutionized optical imaging of cells.

The root fluoresces green when the TCSn gene associated with cytokinin activation is turned on because it is fused with a jellyfish protein that acts as a reporter signal.

When the drug was absent from a cell, the proteins fluoresced in a certain color, and when the drug was present, the color changed.

For example, the shells could be functionalized to fluoresce in the presence of specific proteins or to target tumors.
