Spinal cord injury leads to a robust inflammatory response that is an unfavorable environment for stem cell implantation. In this study, we evaluated the effect of combined therapy of curcumin and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on behavioral recovery and tissue sparing, glial scar formation, axonal sprouting and inflammatory responses in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury (SCI). Balloon‑induced...
Silver doped diamond-like carbon layers were deposited by dual pulsed laser deposition using two KrF excimer lasers. The concentration of Ag, determined by XPS and WDS, moved from zero to ~10at%. We found that the sp2/sp3 ratio, film roughness and the number of droplets (SEM and AFM) increased with increasing silver concentration. The sp3 content measurement (XPS) was influenced by ion cluster surface...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating traumatic injury leading to the loss of neurons, axonal degeneration, a serious neurological deficit, and permanent invalidity [1, 2].
Direct interactions of laser and ion irradiations with living cells can dramatically affect their functionality. However, the physical mechanisms and biochemical pathways underlying the effects of non-thermal plasma and laser light on cell fate have still not been fully explored. We show how laser and plasma ions induce either direct physical destruction of bacteria or triggers programmed cell death.
The interaction of high gradient magnetic fields (HGMF) with living cells has recently garnered significant interest owing to a possibility to remotely drive cell machinery without chemical or biological agents. Magnetic gradient forces applied to a whole cell or its organelles from external magnetic fields may offer unique control of cellular endocytosis, motion, proliferation and differentiation...
