#Magnetogenetics
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?

Day 2 of #sbuk24 starts with a session on control opened by Harrison Steel. Lots of excellent stuff (as usual), from directed evolution in microfluidics to "magnetogenetics"

If these goons were serious about animal welfare they’d be dumping billions into emerging noninvasive methods like functional ultrasound imaging, better DREADDs, maybe sonogenetics or magnetogenetics. But what they actually want is an excuse to axe half of our science to fund more bombs and cops

Here's binding curves, with and without a ~40 mT magnetic field.

We estimate a handheld magnet changes the binding affinity by ~3x.

This is the world's first (real) demonstration of "magnetogenetics" - controlling protein function with nontoxic, tissue-penetrating magnetic fields.

Resuming my science-focused social media activity by sharing this review on magnetogenetics.
If you’re interested in understanding how magnetic fields can be leveraged for remote, wireless control of neuronal activity, this is your next read.

Last week, we had the pleasure of interviewing Richard Fuisz, CEO of Nonfiction Laboratories.

We discussed how Nonfiction is developing magnetically controlled therapeutics, the science behind MagLOV2 and MagBodies, and where magnetogenetics may intersect with quantum biology.

I provided that article and relevant papers to Gemini and it thinks "the 2026 pigeon paper is practically a carbon copy of the 2016 magnetogenetics debacle" and that "It seems the researchers (and reviewers) of 2026 failed to learn the lesson of 2016".

🧲 Magnetic and mechanical forces are also being harnessed.
Magnetogenetics and mechanogenetics exploit nanoparticles or mechanosensitive ion channels to control cell behavior for applications in neuroscience and immunotherapy. 🧠
