Genetic probes: new ways to watch cells in action.
Visualizing fast physiological changes in small living cells, such as synaptic transmission in a neural circuit, is a fundamental problem in biology. Progress towards this goal is being made with the development of new types of protein sensor that can be targeted within cells and organisms.
