4-(2-(6-(Dibutylamino)-2-naphthalenyl)ethenyl)-1-(3-sulfopropyl)pyridinium hydroxide inner salt has been used as a voltage sensitive dye in cardiac cells.[1]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Membrane potential dye that responds to changes in membrane potential monitored by fluorescence excitation changes at 440 and 505 nm; correlated to changes in membrane potential of the cell.

cAMP is a positive regulator tightly involved in certain types of synaptic plasticity and related memory functions. However, its spatiotemporal roles at the synaptic and neural circuit levels remain elusive. Using a combination of a cAMP optogenetics approach and voltage-sensitive
In ventricular myocytes, the majority of structures that couple excitation to the systolic rise of Ca(2+) are located at the transverse tubular (t-tubule) membrane. In the failing ventricle, disorganization of t-tubules disrupts excitation contraction coupling. The t-tubule membrane is virtually
Since current experimental models of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) have significant limitations, we used human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to generate an atrial-specific tissue model of AF for pharmacologic testing. We generated atrial-like cardiomyocytes (CMs) from hESCs which preferentially expressed atrial-specific
Long-term synaptic plasticity is thought to provide the substrate for adaptive computation in brain circuits but very little is known about its spatiotemporal organization. Here, we combined multi-spot two-photon laser microscopy in rat cerebellar slices with realistic modeling to map
Numerous dyes are available or under development for probing the structural and functional properties of biological membranes. Exogenous chromophores adopt a range of orientations when bound to membranes, which have a drastic effect on their biophysical behavior. Here, we present
