Naturally occurring stem cells isolated from humans have been used therapeutically for
decades. This has primarily involved the transplantation of primary cells such as …

Modification of DNA bases plays vital roles in the epigenetic control of gene expression in
both animals and plants. Though much attention is given to the conventional epigenetic …

Optogenetics is an elegant approach of precisely controlling and monitoring the biological
functions of a cell, group of cells, tissues, or organs with high temporal and spatial resolution …

Today's optical neuromodulation techniques are rapidly evolving, benefiting from advances
in photonics, genetics and materials science. In this review, we provide an up-to-date …

Animal whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a non-invasive
window into brain activity. A collection of associated methods aims to replicate observations …

Breakthroughs in biomedicine and synthetic bioengineering require predictive, rational
control over anatomical structure and function. Recent successes in manipulating cellular …

The ability to remote control the expression of therapeutic genes in mammalian cells in order
to treat disease is a central goal of synthetic biology‐inspired therapeutic strategies …

A significant number of clinical trials have been undertaken to explore the use of
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment of several diseases such as Crohn's …

Insights into the role astrocytes and microglia play in normal and diseased brain functioning
has expanded drastically over the last decade. Recently, chemogenetic tools have emerged …

Optogenetic control of neural activity in deep brain regions ideally requires precise and
flexible light delivery with non-invasive devices. To this end, Tapered Optical Fibers (TFs) …
