Recent advances in tissue engineering have been remarkable, yet the precise control of cellular behavior in 2D and 3D cultures remains challenging. One approach to address this limitation is to genomically engineer optogenetic control of cellular processes into tissues using gene switches that can operate with only a few genomic copies. Here, we implement blue and red light-responsive gene switches to engineer genomically stable two- and three-dimensional mammalian tissue models.

In this study, we engineer light-responsive mammalian cells and target them with dynamic light patterns to realize 2D cell culture patterning control. To achieve this, we developed μPatternScope (μPS), a modular framework for software-controlled projection of high-resolution light patterns onto microscope samples.

- * The study highlights that natural regeneration of forests is more efficient and less costly than tree planting in degraded areas, analyzing the spatial distribution of natural forests from 2000 to 2016 to identify potential for regeneration.
- * It estimates that around 215 million hectares, mainly in countries like Brazil, Indonesia, China, Mexico, and Colombia, could naturally regenerate, potentially sequestering 23.4 billion tons of carbon over 30 years—emphasizing the importance of targeting these areas for effective restoration efforts.
