MIT scientists use light to control starfish cell movement and shape, advancing potential wound healing and drug delivery methods.
Scientists at MIT have developed a method to control the movement and shape of starfish cells using light by injecting a light-sensitive enzyme into their cells.
By shining light in various patterns, they can direct the cells to change shape, potentially leading to advancements in wound healing and drug delivery.
This research, published in Nature Physics, could pave the way for designing programmable, light-activated cells.
