Optogenetic manipulation and photoacoustic imaging using a near-infrared transgenic mouse model

Optogenetic tools can be used as in vivo imaging probes. Here the authors generate a loxP-BphP1 transgenic mouse to enable Cre-dependent temporal and spatial targeting of BphP1 expression in vivo; they show photoacoustic tomography of BphP1 expression in developing embryos and regenerating livers.
