externally stimulated CAR
Also known as: CARs influenced or activated by external stimuli
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Architecture: A reusable architecture pattern for arranging parts into an engineered system.

Input: Light
Implementation Constraints
cofactor dependency: cofactor requirement unknownencoding mode: genetically encodedimplementation constraint: context specific validationimplementation constraint: spectral hardware requirementoperating role: actuator
Execution requires the relevant external trigger modality named in the abstract.; requires an external stimulus such as light, heat, oxygen, or nanomaterials
Needs compatible illumination hardware and optical access. Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
