In a study published late last year, Murthy and his colleagues revealed a new family of fluorescent chemical dyes called hydrocyanines that can be used as probes to detect and measure the presence of highly reactive metabolites of oxygen that are associated with a variety of inflammatory diseases, including cancer and atherosclerosis.  The dyes could be used at an early stage of disease, improving hopes for treatment.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETo view full article, visit:  \u003Ca href=\u0027http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/technology\/090618-sl-murtha.html\u0027\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.livescience.com\/technology\/090618-sl-murtha.html\u003C\/a\u003E\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information on Murthy research, visit:  \u003Ca href=\u0027http:\/\/www.bme.gatech.edu\/groups\/murthylab\/\u0027\u003ENiren Murthy\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Niren Murthy, PhD, featured on NSF\u0027s LiveScience website.
