2 Schmidt, Meic H.Medical applications of space light-emitting diode technology-space station and beyondSpace light-emitting diode (LED) technology has provided medicine with a new tool capable of delivering light deep into tissues of the body, at wavelengths which are biologically optimal for cancer treatment and wound healing. This LED technology has already flown on Space Shuttle missions, and show...Photodynamic therapy; Lutetium Texaphyrin; Lutex; Canine glioma1999
3 Dailey, Andrew T.Modulation of macrophage and microglial responses to axonal injury in the peripheral and central nervous systemsOBJECTIVE: After axonal injury, macrophages rapidly infiltrate and become activated in the mammalian peripheral nervous system (PNS) but not the central nervous system (CNS). We used the dorsal root pathway to study factors that modulate the response of macrophages to degenerating axons in both the ...Axonal injury; Macrophage response; Microglial response; Peripheral nervous system; Lewis rats1999
