Electromagnetic field‑inducible gene switch: a non‑invasive platform for remote spatiotemporal gene control

Covers a remotely controlled electromagnetic field gene switch enabling noninvasive, reversible, and spatially precise transgene activation in vivo for therapeutic use.

Key Takeaways
  • Genome-wide pooled CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen in Ei-GFP reporter fibroblasts
  • Individual knockout of Cyb5b completely abolished EMF-dependent reporter activation
  • Potentially contributing to transcriptional specificity under the tested conditions
