Kudos to CardSS Lab alumni Jamie S. Yang and Dr. Alexander R. Ochs, along with current members Dr. Chelsea E. Gibbs & Pat, who were the driving force behind the newly published article entitled “Computational Simulations Show Proof-of-Concept for Optogenetic Suppression of Ectopic Activity in Cardiac Stem Cell Therapy”. By investigating the efficacy of optogenetic modification, their simulations suggested WiChR-based optogenetic suppression of hPSC-CM graft-associated arrhythmia is feasible but must be carefully calibrated.
