Abstract
The present application is directed to devices, assemblies, systems and methods for targeting one or more sites with electromagnetic radiation. The devices, assemblies and systems are operationally configured to transform and convey electromagnetic radiation to one or more targeted sites. The devices, assemblies and systems may also convey one or more fluids or fluid solutions to the one or more targeted sites.
Claims19
A method for in vitro emanation of electromagnetic radiation upon stem cells during the delivery of the stem cells to one or more target sites of a target subject, the method comprising:
- providing a device having a first opening within the device for receiving electromagnetic radiation therein, a second opening within the device for receiving electromagnetic radiation and fluid including a cell population comprising stem cells therein, and an outlet operationally configured to emit electromagnetic radiation received by the first opening and fluid including a cell population comprising stem cells received by the second opening out from the device, wherein the first opening is fluidly sealed from the second opening;
- exposing stem cells entering the second opening to electromagnetic radiation entering the second opening via the first opening;
- and
- delivering stem cells exposed to electromagnetic radiation in the second opening out through the outlet to one or more target sites of a target subject.
A method for exposing stem cells to electromagnetic radiation during the delivery of the stem cells to one or more target sites of a subject, the method comprising:
- providing (1) an electromagnetic radiation source, (2) a fluid source comprising fluid including a cell population comprising stem cells, and (3) a device having (a) a first opening defined by a first inner surface within the device, wherein the first opening is in radiant communication with the electromagnetic radiation source, (b) a second opening defined by a second inner surface within the device, wherein the second opening is in radiant communication with the electromagnetic radiation source and in fluid communication with the fluid source, and (c) an outlet in radiant communication with the electromagnetic radiation source wherein the outlet is operationally configured to emit fluid including a cell population comprising stem cells out from the device, wherein the first inner surface is fluidly sealed from the outlet;
- conveying electromagnetic radiation from the electromagnetic radiation source into the first opening and fluid including a cell population comprising stem cells from the fluid source into the second opening in a manner effective to expose stem cells in the second opening to electromagnetic radiation conveyed from the first opening into the second opening;
- and
- delivering stem cells exposed to electromagnetic radiation out through the outlet to one or more target sites of a subject.
A method for exposing a blood product to electromagnetic radiation in vitro during the delivery of the blood product to a blood vessel of a member of the Animalia Kingdom, the method comprising:
- providing a device and a hollow member in radiant communication and in fluid communication with the device, wherein the device includes (1) a first opening operationally configured to receive electromagnetic radiation therein from one or more sources of electromagnetic radiation and (2) a second opening operationally configured to receive electromagnetic radiation therein via the first opening and a blood product therein from one or more sources of blood products, wherein the first opening is fluidly sealed from the second opening and wherein the hollow member is operationally configured to convey electromagnetic radiation and a blood product from the second opening to a blood vessel of a member of the Animalia Kingdom;
- introducing electromagnetic radiation and a blood product into the second opening exposing the blood product to electromagnetic radiation in the second opening;
- and
- conveying the blood product exposed to electromagnetic radiation through the hollow member to a blood vessel of a member of the Animalia Kingdom.
