Precise spatio-temporal control of rapid optogenetic cell ablation with mem-KillerRed in Zebrafish

Abstract The ability to kill individual or groups of cells in vivo is important for studying cellular processes and their physiological function. Cell-specific genetically encoded photosensitizing proteins, such as KillerRed, permit spatiotemporal optogenetic ablation with low-power laser light. We...
