‘Remote controlled’ proteins illuminate living cells
The discovery that some fluorescent proteins are sensitive to magnets could lead to the development of switchable drugs and biosensors.

A reminder to use the right P2A sequence to produce separate proteins - the images are from a GPCR-P2A-mCherry construct using a P2A variant without (upper row) and with (lower row) a preceding GSG linker.

Do you like following rules… but also breaking them?
So does your dopaminergic synapse! 😎🧠
Our new Trends in Neurosciences review dives into the non-classical side of dopamine signaling, notably the tools reshaping how we see it (CLEM, cryo-CLEM, serial EM + more).

💡 Always a good time to be reminded: "if you fuse your protein of interest to GFP or EGFP to study the protein's behavior ... you are using a tag with a serious drawback."
