🧪🧬 New preprint!
What if the same biosensor could reveal how cysteine is regulated across life domains?
We introduce Cystector, a genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor for real-time cysteine monitoring in living cells.

Across systems, Cystector enables:
• live-cell measurements
• subcellular resolution
• cross-domain comparisons
• minimal perturbation of metabolism

If you work on: #redoxbiology #metabolism #ferroptosis #mitochondria #biosensors
…and want to monitor cysteine dynamics in your system, Cystector might help (🧬 Plasmids soon available on Addgene!).
Happy to discuss applications or adaptations-DMs welcome!

Check out our latest research from the VIB-VUB Messens Lab🥳 In collaboration with the ULB Gurzov lab, we've applied a fluorescent biosensor to assess glycolysis and specifically quantify fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in liver cells🧪🔬 Amazing work @Israelhabanero 👏

Thanks a lot for the invitation. We were happy to explain why catenated sulfur chain species - supersulfides matter in biology! @STakaaki26424 @HozumiMotohashi @TetsuroMat25054

Besides, this review discusses novel biosensor architectures based on chemigenetic fluorescent reporters, such as HaloTag, UnaG, or FAST. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! #FluorescenceFriday
