Regulation of glucose homeostasis using radiogenetics and magnetogenetics in mice

Nature Medicine volume 21, pages 14–16 (2015)Cite this article

Subjects

Endogenous expression of tailored nanoparticles in cells followed by application of low-frequency radio waves or a magnetic field can be used to noninvasively modulate gene expression. This approach successfully induces insulin transgene expression in diabetic mice.
