Claim 1application scopesupports2026Source 1DOI PubMed

Optogenetic receptor systems can be used to dissect dynamic signaling, manipulate neuromodulatory and immune circuits, and program cellular activities involved in development and tissue regeneration.

Claim 2future directionsupports2026Source 1DOI PubMed

Nonviral delivery strategies, autologous cell engineering, de-immunized or humanized photoreceptor design, materials science, bioelectronics, and AI-guided protein engineering are proposed routes to improve translational performance and discovery of optimized photosensory-receptor pairings.

Claim 3limitationsupports2026Source 1DOI PubMed

Key translational challenges for optogenetic receptors include immunogenicity of non-human photoreceptors, limited gene-delivery efficiency, and long-term biosafety concerns.
