Fluorescent Peptides for Membrane Tension Reporting and Biomarkers
A peptide-based probe technology that enables real-time, non-invasive fluorescent detection and quantitation of cell membrane tension.
Background:
The 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded for the discovery of Piezo channels, mechanosensitive ion channels that respond to cell membrane tension, translating mechanical force directly...
