					<description><![CDATA[A new study by a University of Texas at Arlington physics team in collaboration with bioengineering and psychology researchers shows for the first time how a small area of the brain can be optically stimulated to control pain. Samarendra Mohanty, an assistant professor of physics, leads the Biophysics and Physiology Lab in the UT Arlington [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Researchers have succeeded for the first time in controlling the function of sperm by optogenetics. They inserted a light-activated enzyme for cAMP synthesis into mouse sperm that lacked the endogenous enzyme. Sperm of these mice are usually non-motile, and the mice consequently infertile. After stimulation of these sperm with blue light, they produce cAMP, start [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Optogenetics is one of the hottest tools in biomedical research today, a method that uses gene therapy to deliver light-sensitive proteins into specific cells. This new tool allows researchers to interact with a single cell or a network of cells with exquisite precision. Whereas imaging and other technologies allow researchers to watch the brain in [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With a few flicks of a light switch&#8211;on-off-on-off&#8211;Stanford University&#8217;s Oscar Abilez is one step closer to changing the lives of millions. Why? Because as a focused speck of light turns on and off in Abilez&#8217;s lab, a cluster of heart cells begins to expand and contract. He demonstrates that he can control the rhythm of [&#8230;]]]></description>
