Intracellular optogenetics enables precise and reversible control of protein activity, signaling dynamics, and cellular behaviours using genetically encoded light-responsive systems.
Future opportunities for intracellular optogenetics include multi-colour and multiplexed systems, integration with high-throughput omics and artificial intelligence, and development of non-invasive modalities for in vivo and industrial applications.
Current limitations of intracellular optogenetic actuators include chromophore dependence, light delivery challenges, and safety considerations.
