Control of Synaptic Communication through Molecularly Engineered Bioluminescence Light Emission and Sensing

This paper introduces a modular platform called Interluminescence that uses bioluminescent light to control synaptic transmission by activating optogenetic ion channels in postsynaptic neurons.

Magneto-Photonic Gene Circuit for Minimally Invasive Control of Gene Expression in Mammalian Cells

The paper develops a gene circuit that uses light and magnetic stimuli to control gene expression in mammalian cells.

Presymptomatic Targeted Circuit Manipulation for Ameliorating Huntington's Disease Pathogenesis

The paper investigates presymptomatic manipulation of cortical neuron activity in HD mice to restore E/I balance and slow disease progression.

Engineering luminopsins with improved coupling efficiencies

This study evaluates factors affecting luminopsin efficacy and identifies strategies to improve their function through molecular evolution.

A Method for Optimizing Imaging Parameters to Record Neuronal and Cellular Activity at Depth with Bioluminescence

The paper develops an in vitro method to optimize imaging parameters for bioluminescence-based neuronal activity recording without animal use.
