I want to carry out calcium signaling experiments in MSC cultured in 3D scaffolds.
Due to equipment constrains, I only can exite the fluorocrome probe above 450nm. So, I am considering to use Fluo3/FuraRed. However, I am concern about how to place the calcium indicator in the proper compartment of the nucleus. Then, I also consider to use calcium-binding fluorescent indicators like cameleons, pericams, or aequorins fused to a Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS).
