Meet MagLuc: a magnetically-controlled luminescent protein.

This is a foundational tool for remote control of biological processes, also known as "magnetogenetics".

Can you tell when the magnetic field turns on and off?

Great news! @mariaingaramo.bsky.social 's company (Nonfiction Labs) made a remote-controlled antibody.

Its binding turns on and off with a magnet.

This is a HUGE step towards our dream of magnetically controlled drugs. Imagine a cancer drug that ONLY attacks the tumor, not the rest of your body.
