Biosensor For the Real-Time Imaging of Manganese(II) in Cells
Biosensor For the Real-Time Imaging of Manganese(II) in Cells Biosensors have been around since Leland C. Clark Jr. first successfully developed a ‘true’ biosensor for oxygen detection in the 1950s. Since then, biosensors have taken on a key role in important biomedical applications such as drug discovery , disease monitoring , and identifying biomarkers in bodily fluids (blood, saliva, sweat, urine) that may be indicators of disease. Selective Biosensing The breakthrough by the Penn State team could herald a series of new advances in biotechnological applications with the potential to promote knowledge-building while laying the foundations for a new approach to further study the physiology of manganese. The team was able to construct the genetically encoded biosensors by reprogramming LanM to construct the scaffolds , which could then detect levels of manganese(II) at physiologically relevant concentrations. #sensors#temperature#pressuresensors#wsn#wifi#gassensors#biosensor...
