Directed evolution was used to engineer a green fluorescent biosensor for quantitative calcium imaging that remains fluorescent, yet shows a large change in lifetime in cells.
Testosterone promotes the conversion of glucose to fatty acids by increasing the expression of ACLY in seminal vesicle epithelial cells, thereby regulating the seminal plasma components.
