Optogenetic Switch Now Works Both Ways: On and Off
STANFORD, Calif., April 24, 2014 — Since the beginning of optogenetics, the technique has been more effective at switching neurons on than off -- but not anymore. Building from Dr. Karl Deisseroth’s discovery about a decade ago of optogenetics — in which light-activated opsins from algae pass electrical current into neurons to control brain circuitry — his team at Stanford University has re-engineered the light-sensitive proteins to enable more efficient regulation of the cells’
Light Triggers Biochemical Reactions
HOUSTON, Dec. 18, 2012 — Biochemical reactions can now be remotely triggered on demand, thanks to a new technique that turns light into heat at the point of need on the nanoscale.
Third Frontier Funds YSI-UC Team
CINCINNATI, April 13, 2010 — The Ohio Third Frontier Commission has approved a $1,127,873 award to YSI Inc. of Yellow Springs, Riehl Engineering Ltd. of Dayton and the University of Cincinnati (UC) for their “Advanced Modified Carbon Nanotube-Based Nutrient Sensor”...
The greening of plastics
Oct 1, 2009 — Plastics have changed the way we live, making possible such items as disposable diapers and lightweight, inexpensive camera lenses. But plastics also can do harm to the environment, especially when their toxic chemicals work their way into the...
Microbes Beware
Apr 1, 2008 — Your throat is parched, and you could drink a gallon of water, but you’ve just arrived at a faraway destination where the local water quality comes with no guarantees. Do you: 1) Gulp down the water anyway and risk days of gut-wrenching agony...
Light Deactivates Anthrax
TROY, N.Y., Dec. 10, 2007 -- A new technique targets specific proteins, such as the dangerous anthrax toxin, and renders them harmless using nothing but light. The method could also be used to create new cancer treatments and antibacterial coatings. Scientists have long...
Metagenomics Will 'Transform' Microbiology
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2007 -- The emerging field of metagenomics, where the DNA of entire communities of microbes is studied simultaneously, presents the greatest opportunity -- perhaps since the invention of the microscope -- to revolutionize understanding of the microbial...
