Imagine being at a big marquee event at an arena, like the Super Bowl, with the roar of the crowd, the smell of hot dogs, and a sea of jerseys all merging into one chaotic blur.

A team of researchers at Mass General Brigham is developing a way to stimulate heart tissue through light-sensitive ink, in ...

It’s well established that many of the cells within our dermis and epidermis—the fibroblasts ... One of the most interesting discoveries is that opsins—a class of light-sensitive proteins found in the ...

That area is known as the macula. In one of the two main forms of macular degeneration, light-sensitive cells in the macula get damaged as cellular debris accumulates around them. In the other ...

These systems combine chemical molecules, optics, and genetically modified proteins to precisely control protein activities at specific locations in cells using light-sensitive small molecules.
