Nanoscopic Tracking of Glycine Receptors Using a New Chloride Sensor

February 6, 2026

A fresh approach lets scientists watch glycine receptors in action at the nanometer level. Glycine receptors, which help dampen nerve signals, have been hard to study because usual fluorescent tags interfere with their normal behaviour. The new design attaches a chloride‑sensitive dye, mClYFP, to th
