Laser irradiation has developed into a novel technique of non-invasive stimulation in cardiac and neural tissues. However, physical parameters for the laser irradiation-induced cardiac contractions have not been clarified, because various physicochemical reactions, such as photochemical and photothermal
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
