Laser Applications in Biomedicine. Part I: Biophysics, Cell Biology, and Biostimulation

Biophysics and systems biology

Biophysics at the systems level, as distinct from molecular biophysics, acquired its most famous paradigm in the work of Hodgkin and Huxley, who integrated their equations for the nerve impulse in 1952. Their approach has since been extended to other organs of the body, notably including the heart. The modern field of computational biology has expanded rapidly during the first decade of the twe...

Advances in Research and Applications of Smart Hydrogels Part I: Preparation Methods and Classification

Computational Biology and Biophysics

With the recent successful completion of the Human Genome Project and related attempts to determine whole genomes it has become obvious that the obtained wealth of data needs to be matched by information on the structure and function of the huge number of proteins encoded in the various genomes (“proteomics”). As proteins are only functional if they assume specific shapes, it is important to ex...

Advances in Biology & BioMedicine

In the present study the antimutagenic effects of Phyllanthus fruit extract (PFE) has been evaluated against cyclophosphamide induced genotoxicity in bone marrow cells of mice. when animals are treated with different doses of phyllanthus fruit extract i.e., 170,340 and 680 mg/kg to mice, the treated group has not showed any significant increase in the percentage of chromosomal aberrations in bo...

Laser safety importance in clinical laser applications

Introduction: By introducing of laser systems and their continuous development, a new chapter of laser systems applications in a variety fields including research and clinical science in addition to the therapeutic, diagnostic applications were available for medical professionals in various fields. Most lasers emit radiation with intrinsic probable risks where in laser-tissue i...
