Abstract

Included in this disclosure is a process for treating a cell in which the tubulin pattern of a centriole is caused to change in response to altering its physical state. In this manner, the tubulin pattern can be selective reprogrammed.

Claims (33)

1 . A process for treating a biological tissue comprising the steps of

a. determining a physical state of a healthy centriole within a healthy biological tissue wherein said physical state corresponds to a healthy tubulin pattern of said healthy centriole,

b. irradiating a diseased centriole within said biological tissue with photonic radiation with a power density between about 500 milliwatts per square centimeter and about 1 watt per square centimeter, without substantially increasing the temperature of said biological tissue, wherein said diseased centrosome has a diseased tubulin pattern,

c. said photonic radiation causes a physical property of said diseased centriole to be changed and thus alters said diseased tubulin pattern so as to substantially mimic said healthy tubulin pattern.

2 . The process as recited in claim 1 wherein said photonic radiation is coherent photonic radiation.

3 . The process as recited in claim 2 , wherein said photonic radiation has a wavelength from about 400 nm to about 1060 nm.

4 . The process as recited in claim 3 , wherein said biological tissue is disposed within a biological organism.

5 . The process as recited in claim 3 , wherein said biological tissue is disposed substantially on the surface of a biological organism.

6 . The process as recited in claim 4 , wherein said photonic radiation is emitted from a source that is implanted within a biological organism.

7 . The process as recited in claim 6 , wherein said biological organism is a human being.

8 . A process for treating a biological tissue comprising the steps of

a. determining a physical state of a centriole within a stem cell wherein said physical state corresponds to a stem cell tubulin pattern,

b. irradiating a non-stem cell centriole with photonic radiation with a power density between about 500 milliwatts per square centimeter and about 1 watt per square centimeter, without substantially increasing the temperature of said biological tissue, wherein said non-stem cell centrosome has a non-stem cell tubulin pattern,

c. said photonic radiation causes a physical property of said non-stem cell centriole to be changed and thus alters said non-stem cell tubulin pattern so as to substantially mimic said stem cell tubulin pattern.

9 . The process as recited in claim 8 wherein said photonic radiation is coherent photonic radiation.

10 . The process as recited in claim 9 , wherein said photonic radiation has a wavelength from about 400 nm to about 1060 nm.

11 . The process as recited in claim 10 , wherein said biological tissue is disposed within a biological organism.

12 . The process as recited in claim 10 , wherein said biological tissue is disposed substantially on the surface of a biological organism.

13 . The process as recited in claim 11 , wherein said photonic radiation is emitted from a source that is implanted within a biological organism.

14 . The process as recited in claim 13 , wherein said biological organism is a human being.

15 . A process for treating a biological tissue comprising the steps of

a. irradiating a biological tissue with coherent photonic radiation with a power density between about 500 milliwatts per square centimeter and about 1 watt per square centimeter wherein said biological tissue comprised of a cell comprised of a centrosome,

b. said centrosome receives said photonic radiation,

c. a mitotic cycle of said cell is normalized as a result of exposure to said photonic radiation, wherein said photonic radiation does not substantially increase the temperature of said biological tissue.

16 . A process for treating a biological tissue comprising the steps of

a. determining a physical state of a first centriole within a biological tissue wherein said physical state corresponds to a first tubulin pattern of said first centriole,

b. determining a photonic energy pattern that corresponds to said first tubulin pattern,

c. irradiating a second centriole within said biological tissue with said photonic radiation with a power density between about 500 milliwatts per square centimeter and about 1 watt per square centimeter, without substantially increasing the temperature of said biological tissue, wherein said second centrosome has a second tubulin pattern,

d. said photonic radiation causes a physical property of said second centriole to be changed and thus alters said second tubulin pattern so as to substantially mimic said first tubulin pattern.

17 . The process as recited in claim 16 wherein said photonic radiation is coherent photonic radiation.

18 . The process as recited in claim 17 , wherein said photonic radiation has a wavelength from about 400 nm to about 1060 nm.

19 . The process as recited in claim 18 , wherein said biological tissue is disposed within a biological organism.

20 . The process as recited in claim 19 , wherein said photonic radiation is emitted from a source that is implanted within a biological organism.
