Abstract
Cellular function is controlled through intricate networks of signals, which lead to the myriad pathways governing cell fate. Fluorescent biosensors have enabled the study of these signaling pathways in living systems across temporal and spatial scales. Over the years there has been an explosion in the number of fluorescent biosensors, as they have become available for numerous targets, utilized across spectral space, and suited for various imaging techniques. To guide users through this extensive biosensor landscape, we discuss critical aspects of fluorescent proteins for consideration in biosensor development, smart tagging strategies, and the historical and recent biosensors of various types, grouped by target, and with a focus on the design and recent applications of these sensors in living systems.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Reviews is a highly regarded and highest-ranked journal covering the general topic of chemistry. Its mission is to provide comprehensive, authoritative, critical, and readable reviews of important recent research in organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, theoretical, and biological chemistry.
Since 1985, Chemical Reviews has also published periodic thematic issues that focus on a single theme or direction of emerging research.
