A new sensor developed at MIT monitorsÂ when cultured neuroblastoma cells (green)Â are producing nitric oxide (NO). A copper complex of a fluorescein derivative (formula on lower left) reacts with NO and produces a nitrosated fluorescein (formula on upper right), which causes the cells to glow brightly under the fluorescent microscope.
