The field of optogenetics has revolutionised our ability to manipulate neuronal circuits by harnessing light-sensitive ion channels to control cellular activity with unprecedented precision. At its ...

Ion channels are membrane proteins, which play a principal role in regulating cellular excitability. They are found in virtually all cells, and are of crucial physiological importance. Based on the ...

Pretein design researcher Yulai Liu holds an enlarged 3D printed model from his team's efforts to design functioning calcium channels entirely from scratch. He is standing in David Baker's lab at the ...
