Figure 3. FLIM biosensors. Illustrative summary of environment‐sensing FLIM biosensors (excluding FLIM‐FRET). These biosensors monitor diverse cellular parameters in living cells, including: 1. cell cycle status (Tan et al. 2024); 2. molecular crowding (Levchenko et al. 2021); 3. membrane potential (van der Linden et al. 2021); 4. temperature (Okabe et al. 2012); 5. redox states (free versus protein‐bound NADH) (Sorrells et al. 2021); 6. protein activity (Mehl et al. 2024); 7. ion concentrations (e.g., Ca2+ (van der Linden et al. 2021) and H+ (Rennick et al. 2022))

How does the brain fall asleep? 💤
In a fascinating new study, scientists led by Dr Nir Grossman have been able to pinpoint, for the first time, the exact moment the brain falls asleep, and precisely map the unfolding process in real time 👉 buff.ly/mcOumTw
Excited to share our Current Biology Primer written with Dr. Audrey Chagnot in the Brain-Body Interactions special issue!
We discuss how the BBB works, what happens when it breaks down, and why this matters for brain and body health.
