Engineered, light-sensitive protein switches are used to interrogate a broad variety of
biological processes. These switches are typically constructed by genetically fusing naturally …

One of the most significant events during early embryonic development is the establishment
of a basic embryonic body plan, which is defined by anteroposterior, dorsoventral (DV), and …

The past decade has witnessed enormous progress in optogenetics, which uses photo‐
