Project develops develop new stem cell lines whose receptors can be activated by blue light

A research project led by the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems has been successfully completed and provides an excellent basis for further projects. The team, led by Prof. Christoph Wiesner from the Institute of Biotechnology, has succeeded in genetically modifying special receptors (Toll-like receptors, TLRs) on stem cells so that they can be activated by blue light.
