Avoiding false-positive signals with nuclease-vulnerable molecular beacons in single living cells

There have been a growing number of studies where molecular beacons (MBs) are used to image RNA expression in living cells; however, the ability to make accurate measurements can be hampered by the generation of false-positive signals resulting from non-specific interactions and/or nuclease degradat...
