Results for tag: "Optogenetics"

Optogenetics is a field of genomics that uses light to control cells in living tissue, typically neurons, in order to study their function. It is a rapidly growing field of research, with applications in neuroscience, cell biology, and biotechnology. Optogenetics combines genetic engineering with optics to control the activity of individual cells in living tissue. It is used to study the function of neurons and other cells, and to develop treatments for neurological disorders. Optogenetics has been used to study the neural circuits underlying behavior, to develop treatments for neurological disorders, and to develop new tools for gene therapy. It has also been used to study the effects of drugs on the brain, and to develop new treatments for diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The optogenetics market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by increasing research and development activities in the field. The market is also expected to benefit from the increasing demand for optogenetic tools and technologies in the healthcare industry. Some of the key players in the optogenetics market include Illumina, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Merck KGaA, Danaher Corporation, Becton Dickinson, and PerkinElmer. Show Less Read more
