Cellular calcium imaging: so, what’s new?

A new rhodamine B based fluorometric chemodosimeter for Cu2+ ion in aqueous and cellular media

“…In order to understand the impact of this element on human health, facile techniques enabling to monitor the concentration of copper ions in biological samples and to visualize its sub cellular distribution in physiological processes are of considerable significance. To visualizing the distribution of copper ion in living cells during physiological processes, fluorescence bioimaging found to be the best choice due to its high sensitivity and less cell damage [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Therefore, fluorescence probes are particularly attractive compared to other instrumental methods [13].…”

Plymouth — A World Harbour through the ages

“…This tradition continues with ground-breaking work by Brownlee and his team on calcium signalling (e.g. Brownlee and Taylor, 1992;Brownlee, 2000;Collingridge et al, 2013).…”

Calcium signaling system in plants

“…These probes, obtained in the Tsien's laboratory [88], represent a combination of calmodulin (CaM) and green fluorescent protein (GFP). Such a transformed CaM can effectively bind Ca 2+ in the range from 10 -8 to 10 -2 M. Further information on measurements of free calcium with fluorescent methods can be found in a review [89] and a book [90].…”
