Infrared laser thermal fusion of blood vessels: preliminary ex vivo tissue studies.

abstract：:Using commercially available organic fluorophores, the current applications of Förster (fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET) are limited to about 80 Å. However, many essential activities in cells are spatially and/or temporally dependent on the assembly/disassembly of transient complexes consisting of large-...
