The gene that allows fireflies to flash is helping researchers track the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs over time.
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers are among the first to show that a technique called bioluminescence imaging (BLI) can be used to determine the effectiveness of cancer drugs that choke off a tumor's blood supply.
