optogeeneettisillä
Optogeeneettisillä refers to methods and technologies that use light to control genetically modified cells. This technique combines optogenetics and gene editing, allowing for precise temporal and spatial manipulation of cellular function through light stimulation. Genetically engineered cells are designed to express light-sensitive proteins, often ion channels or receptors, that respond to specific wavelengths of light. When exposed to light, these proteins trigger or inhibit cellular activity, such as neuronal firing or gene expression.
The integration of gene editing tools, like CRISPR-Cas9, with optogenetics allows for the targeted introduction of
