An optogenetic method for controlling the movement of starfish oocytes has been developed, which could have applications for ...

Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...

Scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

Engineered starfish oocytes shape-shift in response to light, may enable the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

MIT researchers have found the way to control such movement using light. They worked with starfish egg cells, an organism which has been commonly utilized in the study of cell development.

Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered a way to control the movements of starfish cells using light. Cells can move and jiggle in response to certain proteins ...

Now MIT scientists have used light to control how a single cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. The team studied the motion of egg cells produced by starfish—an ...
