Light Up the COVID‑۱۹

Transmissible disease or infectious disease is distinguished as disorders happened by pathogenic microorganisms. Chemical monitoring of cellular pathways of host cells or pathogens has some limitations such as diffusion and polytrophic effect. Furthermore, chemical methods to control pathogens have unintentional effects on other pathways that make difficult information analysis. Optogenetics has solved these issues by the introduction of light controllable molecules that can manipulate molecular interactions, gene expression, and signal transduction cascade with high accuracy and efficiency.[۱‑۳] After the Spanish influenza pandemic over a century ago, at the beginning of ۲۰۲۰, the universe unexpectedly faced a new coronavirus prevalence that is still running across borders and has the capacity to become a long‑term global health issue. Extensive attempts are on‑going for vaccine and other treatment developments. Among the many directions of engaging coronavirus, optogenetics may respond to questions regarding mechanisms of coronavirus‑host cell interactions.
