Nature is a great source of inspiration in solving extremely complex problems, and it is every
day more common to use its strategies for the development of new materials, methods, and …

The field of molecular and cellular imaging allows molecules and cells to be visualized in
vivo non-invasively. It has uses not only as a research tool but in clinical settings as well, for …

Medical applications of nanotechnology typically focus on drug delivery and biosensors.
Here, we combine nanotechnology and bioengineering to demonstrate that nanoparticles …

Optogenetic and chemogenetic actuators are critical for deconstructing the neural correlates
of behavior. However, these tools have several limitations, including invasive modes of …

Means for temporally regulating gene expression and cellular activity are invaluable for
elucidating underlying physiological processes and would have therapeutic implications …

The palette of tools for perturbation of neural activity is continually expanding. On the
forefront of this expansion is magnetogenetics, where ion channels are genetically …

The advent of nanoparticle DDSs (drug delivery systems, nano-DDSs) is opening new
pathways to understanding physiology and pathophysiology at the nanometer scale. A nano …

Adult neurogenesis research in mammals presents a challenge as most stem cells and
progenitors are located deep in opaque brain tissues. Here, we describe an efficient ferritin …

Remote measurement and manipulation of biological systems can be achieved using
magnetic techniques, but a missing link is the availability of highly magnetic handles on …

Magnetically sensitive ion channels would allow researchers to better study how specific
brain cells affect behavior in freely moving animals; however, recent reports of" …
