Fermeate uses optogenetics—precise control of gene expression with light—to turbocharge productivity in bioreactors, with ...

Optogenetics has long been a powerful experimental tool, but a growing body of research suggests it may now be approaching a point where it could reshape how neurological disorders are treated.

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 ...

Scientists at Scripps Research Institute have created a groundbreaking method to track when brain cell activity decreases or switches off after a burst of activity using a combination of optogenetics ...
