Abstract: This invention provides biosensors, cell models, and methods of their use for monitoring chloride ion, where the biosensors can include targeting domains, sensing domains and reporting domains. Biosensors can be introduced into cells reprogrammed to represent experimental or pathologic cells of interest, including as detectors of chloride ions, as TempoChloro™ accomplishes.
Abstract: This invention provides biosensors, cell models, and methods of their use for monitoring osmolarity. Biosensors can include targeting domains, sensing domains and reporting domains. Biosensors can be introduced into cells reprogrammed to represent experimental or pathologic cells of interest. Model cells expressing the biosensors can be contacted with putative bioactive agents to determine possible activities, including as detectors of which is pH changes, as TempoOsmo™ accomplishes.
