Light-gated integrator for highlighting kinase activity in living cells - Nature Communications
Real-time biosensors have been developed for visualizing kinase activity dynamics, but they are confronted with many challenges. Here, the authors develop a light-gated KINACT integrator for post hoc ...

As Michelle mentioned, this paper was an incredible team effort, especially from two current graduate students, Samantha Sanchez and Xinchang He, who finished up many aspects of the project within the lab!
