This study compares the defibrillation efficacy of different channelrhodopsins in human cardiac tissue using simulations, finding that ion selectivity affects arrhythmia termination mechanisms and success.

This study evaluates the use of potassium-selective channelrhodopsins (KCRs) for hyperpolarizing C. elegans cells, finding that their effectiveness depends on illumination parameters and can sometimes induce depolarization.

This paper introduces an optogenetic voltage-clamp technique for precise control of cellular voltage in live animals, demonstrating its application in C. elegans and rat neurons.

The paper identifies a highly potassium-selective channelrhodopsin (WiChR) that enables efficient neuronal inhibition through two-photon optogenetics under low-light conditions.

BiPOLES is an optogenetic tool that allows bidirectional control of neuronal activity using two different light colors, enabling both excitation and inhibition of the same neurons in a single experiment.
