Researchers learn how to steer the heart – with light
Cardiac Theme Publication Research
20 October 2015
We depend on electrical waves to regulate the rhythm of our heartbeat. When those signals go awry, the result is a potentially fatal arrhythmia. Now, a team of researchers from the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics and Stony Brook University has found a way to precisely control these waves – using light. Their results are published in the journal Nature Photonics.
