Cephalopod-inspired optical engineering of human cells

Cephalopod-inspired optical engineering of human cells

While organisms like squid can adaptively modulate the optical properties of their tissues, human cells lack analogous abilities. Here the authors engineer human cells to produce protein architectures with tunable light scattering functionalities.
