Abstract Synopsis
- This text discusses a new genetically encoded calcium indicator (GECI) called KGECO1, made from a red fluorescent protein derived from sea anemone, which helps scientists track calcium activity in cells for neuroscience research.
- KGECO1 offers advantages like deeper tissue imaging and multicolor options due to its red fluorescence, with performance already comparable or better than existing GECIs, and it works well in different cell types and live animal models.
- Future improvements could make KGECO1 even more effective, potentially surpassing current top red GECIs by reducing issues like lysosomal buildup and enhancing sensitivity and kinetics.]
