Abstract:Non-genetic photostimulation is a novel and rapidly growing multidisciplinary field of research that aims to induce light sensitivity in living systems by exploiting exogeneous phototransducers.
Here we propose a recently synthetized intramembrane photo-transducer, based on an azobenzene derivative (Ziapin2), for optical pacing of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs).
The light-mediated photostimulation process has been studied by applying a number of characterization techni… Show more
