Application of Ultrashort-Pulsed Lasers for Optical Manipulation of Biological Functions

DNA Base Modifications Mediated by Femtosecond Laser-Induced Cold Low-Density Plasma in Aqueous Solutions

“…These LDP have recently emerged as a new tool for studying the action of ionizing radiations in biological media. , In the latter, spatial resolution achievable with femtosecond laser pulses allows highly localized energy deposition down to nanometer scale volumes and the investigation of the consequences of ionizing irradiation at subcellular levels. − However, the physicochemical effects, which underlie the biological action mediated by these LDP, remain poorly characterized.…”
