Researchers used optogenetic melanopsin stimulation in HeLa cells to show that the timing pattern of light-evoked calcium signaling selectively shapes NF-κB-linked gene expression, MYC-associated transcriptional programs, and candidate DNA damage response kinase networks. Light-Driven Calcium Pulses Reveal How Cells Decode…
A dual-view two-photon microscope reconstructed three-dimensional neuronal structures while recording stimulated calcium activity at 100 Hz in live motor-cortex brain slices.
