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 novel optogenetic screening platform enables control over previously intractable biological systems. Using the screening platform, scientists have been able to selectively activate the integrated ...
A project at UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Berkeley has employed optogenetics to study the mechanisms of epilepsy, and to indicate possible routes to future treatment. The optics-based ...
