Coupling optogenetic stimulation with NanoLuc-based luminescence (BRET) Ca++ sensing

The coupling of optogenetics with fluorescent Ca2+ sensors is confounded by sensitivity of optogenetic probes to light used to excite the sensors. Here the authors develop a Ca2+ sensor based on bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) that monitors Ca2+fluxes in darkness without excitation.
