We have updated our preprint "A green lifetime biosensor for calcium that remains bright over its full dynamic range" with some new data - including this photo showing the difference in color for the Turquoise and Green lifetime probe. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Figure 1. The excitation and emission peaks of G-Ca-FLITS are red-shifted relative to Tq-Ca-FLITS. (A) The
excitation and emission spectra show in lighter lines the calcium-free state (10 mM EGTA) and the darker
lines the calcium-bound state (39 μM free Ca2+). The Tq-Ca-FLITS is shown as a reference and was reported
before (van der Linden et al., 2021). Spectra are normalized to the maximum of the calcium-free state for
G-Ca-FLITS. (B) The photo shows the fluorescence from tubes of purified biosensors when excited with UV
(312 nm).

Are different cell types like oil and water? Over a century ago, researchers found that dissociated sponges and embryonic tissues can self-assemble into functional structures. Join me, @benswedlund.bsky.social to explore the differential adhesion hypothesis & its applications in tissue engineering!
