Live cell imaging: ‘Green Glifons’ for real-time monitoring of glucose metabolism
Innovative biosensors open up new possibilities to probe animal and human cells
A collaborative study between Tokyo Tech and the University of Tokyo reports a series of green fluorescent protein-based glucose indicators that will aid investigations of energy metabolism in living cells. Named Green Glifons, these indicators are the first of their kind designed to be suitable for live imaging of mammalian cells and for simultaneous imaging alongside other color indicators.
