8th Aug 2019: Optogenetics is a procedure that uses light to modulate molecular procedures in a targeted way in the living organisms or cells. It depends on the practice of genetically-encoded proteins that alter conformation in the presence of light to change cell performance, for instance, by altering the membrane voltage potential of excitable cells.
Sensors to Develop as the Fastest Growing Segment in this Market
On the basis of product type, optogenetics actuators and sensors can be classified into Actuators (Archaerhodopsin, Halorhodopsin, and Channel rhodopsin) and Sensors (Voltage-Sensitive Fluorescent Proteins, pH Sensors, and Genetically Encoded Calcium Indicators). Sensors segment is estimated to develop as the fastest growing sector in this market.
Key investments by manufacturing entities for developments in voltage-sensitive fluorescent proteins, pH sensors, and genetically encoded calcium indicators are estimated to boost sector growth in the years to come.
The voltage-sensitive, fluorescent protein-based sensors are developed by researchers that offer dynamic voltage reports. In addition, to improve fast fluorescent protein voltage sensors several continuous studies are being performed.
Additionally, companies are launching and developing screening systems and optogenetic tools for behavioral testing of rodent models in studies relating to neuroscience. These products could be further used to progress potential and novel remedy for neurological difficulties such as autism spectrum syndrome.
Market insights:
Presently, some of the key players are collaborating with other companies and institutions to improve their product portfolios and develop novel optogenetic devices and therapies that can possibly restore neurological and retinal functions. Companies are also expanding their management facilities and R&D in order to develop their business services and hold a modest edge in the market.
Leading players operating in the optogenetics actuators and sensors market include Gensight Biologics; Elliot Scientific Ltd.; The Jackson Laboratory; Add gene; Coherent, Inc.; Thorlabs, Inc.; Scientifica (Judges Scientific Plc Company); Bruker; Noldus Information Technology; Danaher; Prizmatix; Merck KGaA; AGTC; Circuit Therapeutics, Inc; and Shanghai Laser & Optics Century Co., Ltd. (SLOC).
