A tool for remote, precision targeted, gene control using magnetic fields
Precise spatio-temporal control of gene expression is fundamental to new biological research,
Including neuroscience, oncology, stem cells and organoid study
While the technique is essential,
current methods have limitations.
Optogenetics has high spatial and temporal precision, but is invasive and cannot activate through tissues.
Sonogenetics requires a high level of expertise, and has low resolution as tissues can distort ultrasound signals.
New methods without these shortfalls are needed for future research so we developed...
Magenta uses electromagnets, magnetic nanoparticles, magnetosensitive proteins and genetic AND gates to achieve precision targeted gene control.
