An orange calcium-modulated bioluminescent indicator for non-invasive activity imaging

Fluorescent indicators are widely used to visualize calcium dynamics downstream of membrane depolarization or G protein-coupled receptor activation, but are poorly suited for non-invasive imaging in mammals. Here, we report a bright calcium-modulated bioluminescent indicator named Orange CaMBI. Oran...

Sumario:Fluorescent indicators are widely used to visualize calcium dynamics downstream of membrane depolarization or G protein-coupled receptor activation, but are poorly suited for non-invasive imaging in mammals. Here, we report a bright calcium-modulated bioluminescent indicator named Orange CaMBI. Orange CaMBI reports calcium dynamics in single cells and, in the context of a transgenic mouse, reveals calcium oscillations in whole organs in an entirely noninvasive manner.
