Dr. Robert Campbell, from the University of Alberta, recently published an article in Nature Methods in which he describes novel biosensors that change color in response to specific biological event. This innovation is described in an article published by University of Alberta titled: “Colour-changing proteins shed light on inner workings of live cells -Fluorescent proteins could signal new ways of treating everything from mental illness to diabetes and cancer.”
