Description: | Optogenetics: Optically elevate intracellular cAMP, measure changes in cAMP and calcium, and create excitable HEK cells! Optogenetics is a rapidly emerging field in which biologists move beyond simply measuring and recording changes in cell signaling (Zhang and Cohen 2017). Now there are tools that enable you to use light to control cellular signaling as well as watch it. Montana Molecular has a growing optogenetics toolkit portfolio, all packaged in BacMam virus for low cell-to-cell variability, a simple workflow, and efficient expression in most mammalian cells, including primary and iPSC cultures. |
