Selective Photostimulation To Induce Cell Proliferation

US Patent:
2011030, Dec 15, 2011
Filed:
Jan 21, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/863281
Inventors:
Mark A. Latina - Reading MA, US
Martin L. Yarmush - Newton MA, US
International Classification:
A61M 37/00, A61N 5/067, A61N 5/06
US Classification:
604 20, 607 88, 607 89
Abstract:
The invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that if a tissue is irradiated with a sublethal dose of radiation, e.g., from a laser, that pigmented cells in the tissue are selectively stimulated to proliferate and to produce higher levels of certain mitogenic factors and growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF). In particular, the various parameters of a pulsed laser beam, such as power, pulse duration, total radiation energy (‘fluence’), wavelength, and if multiple pulses are used, the pulse rate and total number of pulses, are carefully selected and controlled to minimize killing the irradiated pigmented cells.
