Defining the ionic mechanisms of optogenetic control of vascular tone by channelrhodopsin-2
<h4>Background and Purpose</h4> <p>Optogenetic control of electromechanical coupling in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is emerging as a powerful research tool with potential applications in drug discovery and therapeutics. However, the precise ionic mechanisms involved in th...
