Design and Modeling of a Bio-Inspired Aequorin-Based Light-emitting Unit: Applications in Optogenetics and Beyond.

Biophotonics includes a wide range of applications that use light-based technologies to investigate and manipulate biological systems. Traditionally, bioluminescence has been extensively used as a reporting agent in various biophotonics applications. However, its potential as a light source has not been explored.

Simulation and Performance Evaluation of a Bio-Inspired Nanogenerator for Medical Applications.

Providing sufficient energy for autonomous systems at the nanoscale is one of the major challenges of the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT). Existing battery technologies and conventional integrated circuits cannot be used in such small dimensions. Even if they are small enough to be used at the nano level, they still cannot be used in medical applications due to biocompatibility issues.
