First CoLocalizer Pro paper appeared.

Cell & Tissue Research, a highly respected international journal with its focus at the areas of molecular, cell, and supracellular biology (Impact Factor 2.99, 2003) in its September issue has published my paper entitled “Dynamics of PAF-induced conjunctivitis reveals differential expression of PAF-receptor by macrophages and eosinophils” (Cell Tissue Res 2004, 317:265-277). This is the first paper that employs our CoLocalizer Pro software to explore the significance of the changes of the colocalization of antigens. It is my pleasure to mention that the reviewing process was quick and we felt that reviewers share our desire to bring the software to the scientific community worldwide. More papers will follow.

Opening post.

Hi! The first time I heard about CoLocalizer Pro was when it did not even have a name. It was only an idea out of my brother`s desire to create a Mac OS X application for colocalization studies. It took me some time to figure things out about it and start discussing how it might look like. Eric Hangstefer, a software developer from Boise, ID, joined our forces and generously shared his expertise in creating this software. After months of hard work, we were able to release the 1.0 version. I am using CoLocalizer Pro for my ophthalmology studies almost on a daily basis now and absolutely love it.
