Optogenetic techniques have been developed to allow control over the activity of selected
cells within a highly heterogeneous tissue, using a combination of genetic engineering and …

Optogenetics is widely used to interrogate the neural circuits underlying disease and has
most recently been harnessed for therapeutic applications. The optogenetic toolkit consists …

Typical light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) have a form factor>(300× 300) µm2. Such LEDs are
commercially mature in illumination and ultralarge displays. However, recent LED research …

In the mammalian nervous system, billions of neurons connected by quadrillions of
synapses exchange electrical, chemical and mechanical signals. Disruptions to this network …

We recently developed adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsids to facilitate efficient and
noninvasive gene transfer to the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, a …

Electrospinning provides an enabling nanotechnology platform for generating a rich variety
of novel structured materials in many biomedical applications including drug delivery …

The electromechanical function of the heart involves complex, coordinated activity over time
and space. Life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias arise from asynchrony in these space–time …

Homo-and heterojunctions play essential roles in semiconductor-based devices such as
field-effect transistors, solar cells, photodetectors and light-emitting diodes. Semiconductor …

Small animals support a wide range of pathological phenotypes and genotypes as versatile,
affordable models for pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and for exploration of …

Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are used to optogenetically depolarize neurons. We engineered
a variant of ChR, denoted red-activatable ChR (ReaChR), that is optimally excited with …
