Photothermal Response of Tissue Phantoms Containing Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inclusion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into tissue prior to laser therapy has the potential to enhance the selectivity and effectiveness of cancer therapy by providing greater and ...
A Two-State Cell Damage Model Under Hyperthermic Conditions: Theory and In Vitro Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ultimate goal of cancer treatment utilizing thermotherapy is to eradicate tumors and minimize damage to surrounding host tissues. To achieve this goal, it is important to develop an accurate ...
Correlation of HSP70 Expression and Cell Viability Following Thermal Stimulation of Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal preconditioning protocols for cardiac cells were identified which produce elevated HSP70 levels while maintaining high cell viability. Bovine aortic endothelial cells were heated with a ...
Fiber Optic Microneedles for Transdermal Light Delivery: Ex Vivo Porcine Skin Penetration Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shallow light penetration in tissue has been a technical barrier to the development of light-based methods for in vivo diagnosis and treatment of epithelial carcinomas. This problem can potentially ...
