Researchers have long been using the field of optogenetics, a biological technique involving the use of light to control cells in living tissue, typically neurons, which have been engineered to express light-sensitive ion channels. By doing this, it is hoped they could one day develop new treatments for diseases by correcting the miscommunications occurring between cells. However, optogenetics to date has not addressed malfunctions in … Continue reading Researchers wirelessly hack master gene using nanophotonics.
