Flipping the Switch: Next‐Generation Chemo‐Optogenetics for Reversible Control of Biological Systems
Next‐generation chemo‐optogenetic systems use photoswitchable molecular glues for reversible, repeatable light control of protein proximity, enabling precise spatiotemporal modulation of signaling, organelle dynamics, and protein stability—opening avenues for in vivo studies and therapeutic applications.

Photoswitchable cyclic dipeptides (CDPs) can be used to prepare hydrogels that reversibly dissipate upon irradiation, or to photomodulate the development of living organisms. We report here applications and perspectives for CDPs containing azobenzene photoswitches or newly discovered hemipiperazine photoswitches in smart materials and biological ...
