Comments on: Light-activated, Nano-sized Protein Factories Show Promise For Drug Delivery http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2012/08/13/light-activated-nano-sized-protein-factories-show-promise-for-drug-delivery/ Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Mary Ann http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2012/08/13/light-activated-nano-sized-protein-factories-show-promise-for-drug-delivery/#comment-33968 Mary Ann Tue, 21 Aug 2012 14:50:21 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=39188#comment-33968 I feel certain there is a link between light and nerves. People seem to calm down a lot when they use less light, when they are less active at night time etc. Also, people who stay up late at night and work at their computers, are usually more than weird. I guess their nerves have been damaged by fake light. I know you guys are not impressed by my comment, as my scientific knowledge isn´t as impressive as yours. I am merely drawing my own conclusions. If you would like to add some additional knowledge regarding this matter, feel free to do so. I feel certain there is a link between light and nerves.

I believe it applies more to optogenetics than to the light therapy for cancer. This mechanism could be used to release the protein in the exact site of action, I suppose. Or perhaps this is the obvious usage for this technology. Are you sure the link in the sentence “manages to avoid slaughtering nearby healthy cells” is correct?
