The UV and green emission part of the white light of ZnO can be used to activate some biological process, such as the activation of photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) [9 11].
αGalCer has been so far investigated only in context of boosting NK T cell anticancer activity, but it could potentially be used to activate αGalCer-reactive γδ T cells, similarly to using PAgs.
These RASSLs can be used to activate Gs signaling in any tissue, but would be particularly useful for analyzing downstream events that mediate body weight regulation in mice.
The method can also be used to activate many presynaptic neurons at once.
This effect can be used to activate the surface for applications like gluing.
However, scientists are also increasingly recognizing that it can be used to activate the expression of genes.
Pulses of laser light can then be used to activate or silence specified groups of neurons on a millisecond-by-millisecond timescale.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can be used to activate paralyzed or paretic muscles to generate functional or therapeutic movements.
OS 8 and 9 have Extensions Manager, a built-in utility that resembles Windows' Msconfig and can be used to activate or disable individual extensions, but it requires a reboot after it is used.
In particular laser induced thermal effects can be used to activate or re-organise dopants at the silicon surface to design new emitter geometries.
