Molecular tools and approaches for optogenetics.
The mammalian brain poses a formidable challenge to the study and treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, owing to the complex interaction of genetic, epigenetic, and circuit-level mechanisms underlying pathogenesis. Technologies that facilitate functional dissection of distinct brain circuits are necessary for systematic identification of disease origin and therapy. Recent developments in opto...
متن کاملMolecular and Cellular Approaches for Diversifying and Extending Optogenetics
Optogenetic technologies employ light to control biological processes within targeted cells in vivo with high temporal precision. Here, we show that application of molecular trafficking principles can expand the optogenetic repertoire along several long-sought dimensions. Subcellular and transcellular trafficking strategies now permit (1) optical regulation at the far-red/infrared border and ex...
متن کاملOptogenetics, Tools and Applications in Neurobiology
Comprehension of the brain function can be helpful for therapy of neurodegenerative diseases. The brain consists of various types of neuron sets, which organize in three-dimensional complex networks and form neural circuits underlying different behaviors. The circuits act based on the patterns that encode the brain functions. Recognition of the neural patterns requires methods to manipulate the...
متن کاملMolecular modeling tools and approaches for CFTR and cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis is a multi-faceted disease resulting from the dysfunction of the CFTR channel. Understanding the structural basis of channel function and the structural origin of the defect is imperative in the development of therapeutic strategies. Here, we describe molecular modeling tools that, in conjunction with complementary experimental tools, lead to significant findings on CFTR channel...
متن کاملMolecular approaches for detection and identification of foodborne pathogens
Foodborne pathogens comprise microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and parasites that can be transmitted by food and affect public health worldwide. The most common viruses transmitted via food are hepatitis A virus and Norwalk-like caliciviruses. Also, the most common bacteria involved in foodborne illnesses are Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp, Escherichia...
