Simplified Method for Modifying Disease Signals with Light – ScienceDaily – AlKhaleej Today

Most diseases are caused by aberrant cell signaling processes and basic cell signaling research is needed to identify targets for future therapeutic approaches, especially in cases where no cures or effective treatments are currently available.
Cellular optogenetics uses light to precisely control the transmission of signals from cells in space and over time, making it an invaluable technique for disease research. However, this potentially revolutionary method has been difficult to apply for many…
