Bioengineer develops tiny blue light emitting device for medical treatment
54:50 - 59:16 (04:26)
A bioengineer has developed a small blue light emitting device, similar to a clump of cells, which can stimulate the nodos ganglion in order to treat a variety of medical issues. Challenges still remain, including designing goggles that provide enough light, and tuning the light to respond to individual patient needs.

Summary
Adeno Associated Viruses (AAVs) are safe and well-tolerated gene delivery mechanisms that can be used to deliver genes like channel rhodopsin. These viruses have been engineered to be safer through genetic tricks built up by scientists over the years.
