Abstract:The method of cellular biosensors, which allows local detection of substances secreted by single cells, is traditionally used for studying the peripheral taste system. This method is based on cells that can detect secreted molecules with surface receptors coupled to the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. Thus, the neurotransmitter release can be tracked on-line by Ca2+ signals generated by a cell-biosensor. A specific feature of such cellular biosensors is that Са2+ signals induced by GPCR ligands may be gene… Show more
