Abstract In 1979 Nobel prize laureate and the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA called for a precise method to gain control over specific classes of neurones “leaving the others more of less unaltered” which will allow us to understand more about the “profoundly mysterious brain.” This was the first articulated idea of optogenetics, which would lead to the development of one of the most exciting areas of neuroscience. In 2005 Karl Desseroth and Ed Boyden publishes a paper detailing a single optogenetic

Human Cardiac Fibroblasts (HCFs) are the most prevalent cell type in the heart, comprising 60-70% of all cells. They play a central role in the maintenance of the ECM in the normal heart and the synthesis of growth factors and cytokines. Under pathological conditions, cardiac fibroblasts are involved in scar formation following myocardial infarction, cardiac fibrosis, and cardiac hypertrophy. As mentioned previously, cardiac muscle includes involuntary striated muscle of the heart. Cardiomyocytes

Adrenal gland In mammals, the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are the triangular-shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys. They are chiefly responsible for releasing hormones in conjunction with stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids and catecholamines, including cortisol and adrenaline (epinephrine), respectively. Anatomy and function Anatomically, the adrenal glands are located in the retroperitoneum situated atop the kidneys, one on each side. They are
