In November 2008, noted chemists Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie, and Roger Tsien were awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Their work dealt with experiments that identified green fluorescent protein (GFP) and also showed that it can be used as a tool to study a wide range of cellular processes. The Trends of Cell Biology journal decided to commemorate the one year anniversary of this recognition by creating this special issue devoted to state-of-the-art imaging processes. Available online here, this issue provides "a snapshot of some of the most exciting work being done in cell biology using GFP, its relatives and derivatives, and other innovative tools and techniques." Here visitors can browse through the articles, and the introduction contains a narrative discussion of each article's main points and scientific processes.
