Article Abstract
Middle infrared stimulation (MIRS) and vibrational strong coupling (VSC) have been separately applied to physically regulate biological systems but scarcely compared with each other, especially at identical vibrational frequencies, though they both involve resonant mechanism. Taking cell proliferation and migration as typical cell-level models, herein, we comparatively studied the nonthermal bioeffects of MIRS and VSC with selecting the identical frequency (53.5 THz) of the carbonyl vibration. We found that both MIRS and VSC can notably increase the proliferation rate and migration capacity of fibroblasts. Transcriptome sequencing results reflected the differential expression of genes related to the corresponding cellular pathways. This work not only sheds light on the synergistic nonthermal bioeffects from the molecular level to the cell level but also provides new evidence and insights for modifying bioreactions, further applying MIRS and VSC to the future medicine of frequencies.

Exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) has been associated with the modulation of neuronal electrophysiology and synaptic plasticity. Given the potential of these changes to coincide with alterations in gene expression, this study investigated whether a transcriptional response would occur in neurons following exposure to RF-EMF, under both thermal and nonthermal conditions. Rat primary hippocampal neurons (PHNs) underwent either a single (one-time) or a multiple (3-times, once a day) exposures to RF-EMF (3.

Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a promising non-invasive therapeutic approach that can be used to generate thermal and non-thermal bioeffects. Several non-thermal FUS therapies rely on FUS-induced oscillations of microbubbles (MBs), a phenomenon referred to as cavitation. Cavitation monitoring in real time is essential to ensure both the efficacy and the safety of FUS therapies.

Theranostics in the vasculature: bioeffects of ultrasound and microbubbles to induce vascular shutdown.

Ultrasound-triggered microbubbles destruction leading to vascular shutdown have resulted in preclinical studies in tumor growth delay or inhibition, lesion formation, radio-sensitization and modulation of the immune micro-environment. Antivascular ultrasound aims to be developed as a focal, targeted, non-invasive, mechanical and non-thermal treatment, alone or in combination with other treatments, and this review positions these treatments among the wider therapeutic ultrasound domain. Antivascular effects have been reported for a wide range of ultrasound exposure conditions, and evidence points to a prominent role of cavitation as the main mechanism.

Since its inception about two decades ago, histotripsy - a non-thermal mechanical tissue ablation technique - has evolved into a spectrum of methods, each with distinct potentiating physical mechanisms: intrinsic threshold histotripsy, shock-scattering histotripsy, hybrid histotripsy, and boiling histotripsy. All methods utilize short, high-amplitude pulses of focused ultrasound delivered at a low duty cycle, and all involve excitation of violent bubble activity and acoustic streaming at the focus to fractionate tissue down to the subcellular level. The main differences are in pulse duration, which spans microseconds to milliseconds, and ultrasound waveform shape and corresponding peak acoustic pressures required to achieve the desired type of bubble activity.
