This research aims to improve techniques for measuring dynamic intracellular concentrations of ions and messengers.
Developed designed fluorescent indicators for specific ions and messengers.
Used membrane-permeant chemical derivatives for probe introduction into cells without membrane disruption.
Applied optical imaging to study living cells with high spatial and temporal resolution.
Fluorescent indicators show high selectivity and sensitivity for ions like Ca2+, Na+, and cAMP.
Enabled continuous monitoring of intracellular biochemistry in living cells without destruction.
Demonstrated application in large cell populations, enhancing studies of dynamic physiological processes.
