An irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, leads to inefficient pumping of blood by the heart, which then prevents blood and oxygen from getting to the body’s other organs. When blood and oxygen flow ...
In our simulations conditions, WiChR and HcKCR1 achieved complete and reversible suppression of ongoing electrical activity within the irradiance range explored. ChR2(H134R) and ChRmine also reduced ...
Optogenetics relies on dynamic spatial and temporal control of light to address emerging fundamental and therapeutic questions in cardiac research. In this work, a compact micro-LED array, consisting ...
It is still elusive to what extent interactions between different cell types of the heart influence the normal heart rhythm and possibly trigger life-threatening arrhythmias. A new measurement method ...
New research published in the Journal of Internal Medicine demonstrates that optogenetics - which uses light-sensitive proteins to control the activity of targeted cells - is a promising shock-free ...

The goal of this study was to create and validate a non-invasive optogenetic pacemaker that could directly pace cardiomyocytes and control heart rhythms. With a rising interest in the Heart-Brain axis ...
High-resolution extracellular electrophysiology is typically used to record from neurons in order to understand brain function. Combining electrophysiology with optogenetics allows researchers to test ...
