Cardiac optogenetics: controlling the heart with light
Cardiac optogenetics: controlling the heart with light
Summary
I'm excited to share my recent article published in Nature Reviews Cardiology this month! This was possible thanks to a collaboration between NRC and the BHF that gave BHF PhD students the opportunity to write a short Journal Club article on an influential study in our field. I discussed the first paper to demonstrate that we can control the heart using light by a technique called cardiac optogenetics. This technique offers lots of exciting possibilities across a wide range of areas in cardiac electrophysiology and could lead to novel therapies for patients with abnormal heart rhythm in the future
