A team led by Guosong Hong at Stanford has figured out how to switch on a light source deep inside a living animal without ...

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is hosting a virtual conference exploring the power and applications of optogenetics and drawing together leading researchers in the ...

A novel optogenetic screening platform enables control over previously intractable biological systems. Using the screening platform, scientists have been able to selectively activate the integrated ...

As a child, Max Hodak learned to develop film in a darkroom with his grandfather who was almost blind. Hodak’s grandfather had retinitis pigmentosa, a congenital disease that affects one out of every ...

University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

Plant scientists have engineered a light-controlled gene expression system (optogenetics system) from a prokaryotic system into a eukaryotic system that is tailored for plants. Imagine if humans could ...

A South Korean research group has reported in a new paper that artificial intelligence and light-based genetic tools can work together to diagnose and stop Parkinson’s-like disease in mice. The work ...
