The optogenetic promise for oncology: Episode I - Inglés Prieto, Álvaro; Gschaider-Reichhart, Eva; Schelch, Karin; Janovjak, Harald L; Grusch, Michael (Molecular and Cellular Oncology, 2014)
As light-based control of fundamental signaling pathways is becoming a reality, the field of optogenetics is rapidly moving beyond neuroscience. We have recently developed receptor tyrosine kinases that are activated by light and control cell proliferation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and angiogenic sprouting—cell behaviors central to cancer progression.
