This study demonstrates plasmonic enhancement of protein function in living cells by coupling designed nanoparticles to Archaerhodopsin proteins, increasing fluorescence and response speed.

This study evaluates voltage imaging analysis pipelines, identifies their strengths and limitations, and proposes a decision-tree for selecting appropriate analysis strategies based on experimental conditions.

The paper develops an Ace2N-mNeon expression library in zebrafish to monitor bioelectric signals during embryogenesis, revealing synchronized neuronal activity and faster voltage dynamics in cardiomyocytes.

The paper develops a novel genetically encoded voltage indicator, NovArch, enabling high-resolution voltage imaging in brain tissue with improved sensitivity, background rejection, and time resolution.

The paper develops all-optical electrophysiology tools to record subthreshold dynamics and excitability in mouse hippocampus during behavior, revealing brain-state dependent changes in neuronal activity.
