Optogenetics

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2015
In this review, we will discuss the recent developments in optogenetics and their potential applications in ophthalmology to restore vision in retinal degenerative diseases.In recent years, we have seen major advances in the field of optogenetics, providing us with novel opsins for potential applications in the retina.

Design of a palette of SNAP-tag mimics of fluorescent proteins and their use as cell reporters

Cell Discovery, 2023
Naturally occurring fluorescent proteins (FPs) are the most widely used tools for tracking cellular proteins and sensing cellular events. Here, we chemically evolved the self-labeling SNAP-tag into a palette of SNAP-tag mimics of fluorescent proteins ...

Flexible auditory training, psychophysics, and enrichment of common marmosets with an automated, touchscreen-based system

Nature Communications, 2022
The authors present a cage-based stand-alone platform for autonomous, standardized, and unsupervised training and testing of visuo-auditory-cued behaviours of common marmosets. The experiments do not require dietary restriction or social separation.

Monitoring NAD(H) and NADP(H) dynamics during organismal development with genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors

Cell Regeneration, 2022
Cell metabolism plays vital roles in organismal development, but it has been much less studied than transcriptional and epigenetic control of developmental programs.

Optogenetics in plants [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
SummaryThe last two decades have witnessed the emergence of optogenetics; a field that has given researchers the ability to use light to control biological processes at high spatiotemporal and quantitative resolutions, in a reversible manner with minimal side‐effects.

Optogenetics 3.0 [PDF]

Cell, 2010
Optogenetic methods use light to modulate the activities of target cells in vivo. By improving inter- and intracellular trafficking of light-sensitive switch proteins called opsins, Gradinaru et al. (2010) have developed a new generation of optogenetic tools capable of regulating the activity of targeted neurons with exquisite precision and efficiency.

Optogenetics: Solving the Enigma of Sleep [PDF]

Sleep Medicine Research, 2018
Sleep is a crucial and evolutionarily conserved phenomenon, but the mechanisms that control sleep-wake behavior and underlie sleep disorders are not yet fully understood.
