Molecular machines stimulate intercellular calcium waves and cause muscle contraction - Nature Nanotechnology

Intercellular calcium waves (ICW) are complex signalling phenomena that control many essential biological activities, including smooth muscle contraction, vesicle secretion, gene expression and changes in neuronal excitability. Accordingly, the remote stimulation of ICW could result in versatile biomodulation and therapeutic strategies. Here we demonstrate that light-activated molecular machines (MM)—molecules that perform mechanical work on the molecular scale—can remotely stimulate ICW.
