Abstract
In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Kim et al.1 present a novel optogenetic tool, opto-PLCβ, to control PLCβ signaling optically. In addition to eliciting PIP2 hydrolysis and downstream signaling in cells, opto-PLCβ also enabled probing the impact of PLCβ signaling on amygdala synaptic plasticity and fear learning in mice.

期刊介绍:
Cell Chemical Biology, a Cell Press journal established in 1994 as Chemistry & Biology, focuses on publishing crucial advances in chemical biology research with broad appeal to our diverse community, spanning basic scientists to clinicians. Pioneering investigations at the chemistry-biology interface, the journal fosters collaboration between these disciplines. We encourage submissions providing significant conceptual advancements of broad interest across chemical, biological, clinical, and related fields. Particularly sought are articles utilizing chemical tools to perturb, visualize, and measure biological systems, offering unique insights into molecular mechanisms, disease biology, and therapeutics.
