Magnetogenetics: A new technique to control the inner workings of human cells and build neural circuits
2013-03-06 15:46:08| Extremetech
A new technique, dubbed magnetogenetics, has now provided a way to control cells by combining magnetic manipulation with their their own machinery for stabilizing new extensions. Techniques like this could enable the construction of neural circuits on a chip that can remain stable over time.
