Applications
Light-induced Oscillatory/Sustained Expression of Ascl1 in Neural Progenitor Cells.
|
For generating oscillatory expression of transgene, blue-light was illuminated for 1 min with a 3-hr interval, which maintaining proliferating NPCs.For achieving sustained expression of transgene, blue-light was illuminated for 2 min with a 30-min interval which promoting neuronal fate determination.
