A turquoise fluorescence lifetime-based biosensor for quantitative imaging of intracellular calcium | Nature Communications
Currently, genetically encoded calcium indicators are not suitable for direct quantification. Here the authors engineer a fluorescence lifetime imaging calcium biosensor, Turquoise Calcium Fluorescence LIfeTime Sensor (Tq-Ca-FLITS), and measure intracellular calcium concentrations in human-derived organoids.

Despite a large calcium-dependent change in fluorescence intensity, the quantification of calcium concentrations with GECIs is problematic, which is further complicated by the sensitivity of all GECIs to changes in the pH in the biological range. Here, we report on a sensing strategy in which a conformational change directly modifies the fluorescence quantum yield and fluorescence li
