Photocages made to order, for🎁EVERYONE🎁Cage highly complex payloads, including clinical pharmaceuticals, in a single step and control them with NIR💡Oh, by the way, we even caged capsaicin for those who really crave that photoactivated curry! Check t.ly/9qBiV

Who let the payloads out? Marina and Hana show the power of cyanine photocages in controlling cardiomyocyte beating with NIR light. Incredibly proud of their hard work that took nearly 2 years to finish. Thanks to @uzh_irem for the support @UZH_Science pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Photocage Chameleon: We observe a direct bond scission by a 800 nm photon and we can now uncage alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines. We applied it to regulate the beating rate of human cardiomyocytes with near-infrared light! #cyanines #photocages tinyurl.com/bdd9us3w
