Preferred Label : Chemogenetics;
MeSH definition : The use of engineered small molecules to manipulate the activity of specific cells
within living organisms, typically. Chemogenetic techniques are often used to study
specific neural activity through genetically engineered receptors that bind specific
endogenous or exogenous ligands.;
Définition CISMeF : Chemogenetics is the process by which macromolecules can be engineered to interact
with previously unrecognized small molecules. Chemogenetics as a term was originally
coined to describe the observed effects of mutations on chalcone isomerase activity
on substrate specificities in the flowers of Dianthus caryophyllus (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemogenetics).;
MeSH synonym : Chemogenetic; Chemogenetic Techniques;
Origin ID : D000098972;
UMLS CUI : C5940580;
