Possible magneto-mechanical and magneto-thermal mechanisms of ion channel activation in magnetogenetics
The palette of tools for perturbation of neural activity is continually expanding. On the forefront of this expansion is magnetogenetics, where ion channels are genetically engineered to be closely coupled to the iron-storage protein ferritin. Initial reports on magnetogenetics have sparked a vigoro...
