Two research results from the research group led by T-GEx Fellow Dr. HAGIO Hanako, Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences Nagoya University, have been published in the biomedical and life science journal "eLife".
The optogenetic tools developed in this study will not only control the neural circuits and cardiac function of zebrafish, but also the signal transduction mechanisms that control cell and organ functions caused by hormones and neurotransmitters in vertebrates in general, including mammals. It is hoped that this will also help clarify the issue.
The results of this research were published as two papers in the biomedical and life science journal "eLife" on August 17, 2023.
