A discovery that goes back to the first studies of translation has become the topic of biotech buzz.
Illustration showing how iGluSnFR3, tracks glutamate release at the synapse level. Upon binding to glutamate, the reporter changes its conformation, intensifying the signal of its fluorescent protein.
