Über diesen Titel

Join us as we explore the fascinating world of starfish oocytes and a groundbreaking optogenetic method that allows researchers to control their shape dynamics in real-time. We'll discuss how researchers used light to create diverse shape deformations, ranging from local pinching to surface contraction waves. This research by Jinghui Liu, Tom Burkart, Alexander Ziepke, John Reinhard, Yu-Chen Chao, Tzer Han Tan, S. Zachary Swartz, Erwin Frey, and Nikta Fakhri, from institutions including MIT, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Saarland University, and the Whitehead Institute, has significant implications for synthetic cell development and our understanding of life-like cellular functions.
