Excited to share my latest review on genetically-encoded fluorescent redox biosensors! 🧬✨🧪🔬. Free to access until 23rd August following this link authors.elsevier.com/a/1jNDOw0NWL9V

@ZeidaAri thank you very much Ari!

@Brandanium congrats Brandan!

🧪🧬 New preprint! What if the same biosensor could reveal how cysteine is regulated across life domains? We introduce Cystector, a genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor for real-time cysteine monitoring in living cells. biorxiv.org/content/10.648… 🧵A thread ⬇️

If you work on: #redoxbiology #metabolism #ferroptosis #mitochondria #biosensors …and want to monitor cysteine dynamics in your system, Cystector might help (🧬 Plasmids soon available on Addgene!). Happy to discuss applications or adaptations-DMs welcome!

Across systems, Cystector enables: • live-cell measurements • subcellular resolution • cross-domain comparisons • minimal perturbation of metabolism

Check out our latest research from the VIB-VUB Messens Lab🥳 In collaboration with the ULB Gurzov lab, we've applied a fluorescent biosensor to assess glycolysis and specifically quantify fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in liver cells🧪🔬 Amazing work @Israelhabanero 👏

Evidence-based sports supplements: A redox analysis sciencedirect.com/science/articl… In our recent review, we describe the redox properties of the sports supplements labeled as effective by the IOC 1.Bicarbonates 2.Beta-alanine 3.Caffeine 4.Creatine 5.Nitrates 6.Carbohydrates 7.Proteins

@Sulfur_Vladi @mpi_polymer @graeter_mbm @STakaaki26424 @RedoxDKFZ @FedorovaLab Congrats Vladi! Looking forward to seeing your new research!

My first day at @mpi_polymer as a group leader. Happy to become part of the family. Thanks to Frauke Graeter @graeter_mbm for her support and trust in me. Many thanks to my mentors @STakaaki26424 @RedoxDKFZ @FedorovaLab, Juergen Arnhold and Oleg Shadyro. Stay tuned!

@YusukeNasu1 @IBCSinica @AcadSinica Congratulations! All the best in your new position!

Starting this September, I'll be leading my own lab at @IBCSinica @AcadSinica! We'll use protein engineering to develop innovative fluorescent biosensors for studying cellular metabolism.

@ElizabethVeal9 It was an amazing conference! Thank you very much @ElizabethVeal9 and Carolin for the organization, we learned a lot and had a lot of fun! Looking forward to the 2026 GRC!

Will miss this view -and the wonderful scientific community that congregated at 2024 Thiol-Based Redox Regulation and Signaling GRC in Castelldefells. Hoping to see you all again in 2026!

Thanks a lot for the invitation. We were happy to explain why catenated sulfur chain species - supersulfides matter in biology! @STakaaki26424 @HozumiMotohashi @TetsuroMat25054 Small summary bellow:

@tonnomartinez Thank you Antonio! Hope it is useful :)

@Brandanium Great work, Brandán! 👏😃

Last but not least, I would like to thank @FWOVlaanderen and @SFRR_Europe for their support, as well as @GiuseppeValacc1 and Henry J Forman for their invitation to write this review.

Besides, this review discusses novel biosensor architectures based on chemigenetic fluorescent reporters, such as HaloTag, UnaG, or FAST. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! #FluorescenceFriday
