Researchers at TU Graz have gained new insights into the functioning of a protein found in bacteria, whose enzymatic activity is activated by blue light. Light affects living organisms in many ...

This system is designed to facilitate imaging-guided and light-controlled release of antimycotics, specifically targeting the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. The research addresses the limitations ...

Researchers at the University of Washington have applied research in how proteins bind with different molecules to create a molecular switch that enables them to turn an enzyme on and off. The ...

Immunotherapies that mobilize a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer have become a treatment pillar. These therapies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, have performed ...

Immunotherapies that mobilize a patient's own immune system to fight cancer have become a treatment pillar. These therapies, including CAR T-cell therapy, have performed well in cancers like leukemias ...

A team of researchers has developed a light-activated switch that can turn genes on and off in mammalian cells. This is the most efficient so-called "optogenetic switch" activated by red and far-red ...

Recently an ad on YouTube about an acoustic light sensor/switch module piqued my interest. Out of curiosity, I contacted the online vendor and bought a pair. Named MR-SK50A, the module is less popular ...

In an advance with overtones of Star Trek phasers and other sci-fi ray guns, scientists in Canada are reporting development of an internal on-off “switch” that paralyzes animals when exposed to a beam ...
