Publication date: Available online 14 November 2016 Source:Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews Author(s): M. Endo, T. Ozawa It has become clear that biological processes are highly dynamic and heterogeneous within and among cells. Conventional analytical tools and chemical or genetic manipulations are unsuitable for dissecting the role of their spatiotemporally dynamic nature. Recently, optical control of biomolecular signaling, a technology called “optogenetics,” has gained much attention. The technique has enabled spatial and temporal regulation of specific signaling pathways both...
