An upconversion nanoparticle enables near infrared-optogenetic manipulation of the Caenorhabditis elegans motor circuit

Near-infrared (NIR) light penetrates tissue deeply, but its application to motor behavior stimulation has been limited by the lack of known genetic NIR light-responsive sensors. We designed and synthesized a Yb³⁺/Er³⁺/Ca²⁺-based lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) that effectively conv...
