چکیده

New applications of laser microbeam irradiation to cell and developmental biology include a new instrument with a tunable wavelength (217- to 800-nanometer) laser microbeam and a wide range of energies and exposure durations (down to 25 X 10(-12) second). Laser microbeams can be used for microirradiation of selected nucleolar genetic regions and for laser microdissection of mitotic and cytoplasmic organelles. They are also used to disrupt the developing neurosensory appendages of the cricket and the imaginal discs of Drosophila.

Laser microsurgery in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Laser killing of cell nuclei has long been a powerful means of examining the roles of individual cells in C. elegans. Advances in genetics, laser technology, and imaging have further expanded the capabilities and usefulness of laser surgery. Here, we review the implementation and application of currently used methods for target edoptical disruption in C. elegans.

Developmental genetics of the mechanosensory neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Touch sensitivity in the nematode Caenwhabditis elegans is mediated by a set of six sensory neurons, the microtubule cells, of well-characterized anatomy and connectivity. The normal touch response is eliminated when these cells are killed by laser microsurgery. The identification of the microtubule cells as the mediators of touch sensitivity allows us to examine the effects of mutations on the...

Assessment of Surgeon Judgment during Resection of Laryngeal Carcinoma

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser surgery as a conservative tool plays a peculiar role in the management of head and neck cancer. Numerous patients who were candidates for transoral laryngeal microsurgery have forced us to eliminate frozen-section evaluation of surgical margins and use a magnified view of the larynx. The present study evaluated surgeon-judged negative margins with permanent microscopi...
