Messenger RNA-encoded reporters for monitoring cellular stress and bioenergetics (Nature - Biotechnology)

Messenger RNA-encoded reporters for monitoring cellular stress and bioenergetics

Describes an mRNA delivery workflow enabling transient fluorescent reporters to monitor metabolism and cellular stress across primary and stem cells.

Key takeaways
  • IVT-synthesized reporter mRNAs achieved high transfection efficiencies in primary fibroblasts and iPSCs.
  • Three ratiometric reporters detected subcellular pH, hydrogen peroxide, and ATP levels effectively.
  • MRNA delivery avoided genome integration and bypassed stable cell line generation requirements.
