Distributed feedback (DFB) lasers are produced directly in fluorescent azobenzene-containing materials using a single holographic optical step. Surface relief grating capable of producing images in fluorescence microscopy can be holographically formed in a number of materials.

Injection of Ortho-Functionalized Tetrafluorinated Azobenzene-Containing siRNAs into Japanese Medaka Embryos for Photocontrolled Gene Silencing.

This article describes the detailed methodology of how to inject photoswitchable ortho-functionalized tetrafluorinated short interfering RNAs (F-siRNAs) into a single cell of stage-two Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) embryos and how to control gene silencing with different wavelengths of light. Many of the prior papers describing Japanese medaka embryo injections omit key information. As such, this article aims to give an in-depth explanation as to how the NanoJect III microinjector can be used for this purpose.

Light-driven diffusioosmosis is a membrane-free method for manipulating colloidal ensembles at solid-liquid interfaces based on photo-sensitive molecules inducing fluid flows along solid surfaces. In this study, we present our findings on porous colloids settled at a solid wall in an aqueous solution comprising a photo-sensitive azobenzene-containing cationic surfactant and a cyanine-based dye, capable of ionically binding to each other. The surfactant acts as an activation agent for diffusioosmotic flow.

The structure-function characteristics of isolated artificial organelles (AOs) in protocells are mainly known, but there are few reports on clustered or aggregated AOs. To imitate µm-sized complex and heterogeneous cell structures, approaches are needed that enable reversible changes in the aggregation state of colloidal structures in response to chemical, biological, and external stimuli. To construct adaptive organelle-like or cell-like reorganization characteristics, we present an advanced crosslinking strategy to fabricate clustered polymersomes as a platform based on host-guest interactions between azobenzene-containing polymersomes (Azo-Psomes) and a β-cyclodextrin-modified polymer (β-CD polymer) as a crosslinker.

Precise modulation of neuronal activity by neuroactive molecules is essential for understanding brain circuits and behavior. However, tools for highly controllable molecular release are lacking. Here, we developed a photoswitchable nanovesicle with azobenzene-containing phosphatidylcholine (azo-PC), coined 'azosome', for neuromodulation.

Membranes are multifunctional supramolecular assemblies that encapsulate our cells and the organelles within them. Glycerophospholipids are the most abundant component of membranes. They make up the majority of the lipid bilayer and play both structural and functional roles.
