Optogenetic Control of cAMP Levels and HCN Channels: Implications in Cardiac Physiology and Parkinson's Disease

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger that regulates various cellular processes, including the activity of hyperpolarization-activated channels (HCN), which are implicated in cardiac physiology and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we used a photoactivated adenylyl cyclase (PAC) S27A mutant to optogenetically control intracellular…
