  • Doped metal oxide nanoparticles of and uses thereof
    Patent number: 10172361
    Abstract: Nanoparticle composites comprised of a metal oxide and ions of a metallic element included within a crystal lattice of said metal oxide are disclosed. Process of preparing the nanoparticle composites per se and incorporated in or on a substrate are also disclosed. Uses of the nanoparticle composites and of substrates incorporating same, particularly for reducing a formation of a load of a microorganism or of a biofilm, are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 8, 2019

  • Device for light irradiation onto tissue
    Patent number: 6379376
    Abstract: A method and device for inducing or promoting growth and proliferation of skin cells or tissue or for controlling bacterial skin infection is described. The skin cells are irradiated with a low-intensity broad spectrum light at a wavelength of between about 340 to 3,000 nm. The increase in rate of cultivated cells is useful for example to obtain skin-like tissue needed for skin grafts or for promoting healing of skin wounds or lesions. Light-induced skin bacteria control is useful for example in the treatment of bacterial infections of the skin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 25, 1999
    Date of Patent: April 30, 2002
    Inventor: Rachel Lubart
  • Method for increasing the fertilizing capability of sperm cells
    Patent number: 6379939
    Abstract: A method for improving the fertilizing capacity of sperm involves irradiating the sperm cells with light in the extended visible range (300-1,000 nm) having an intensity of 1 to 1,000 mW/cm2 wherein the light substantially does not contain light outside the extended visible range and the light is not produced by laser.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 26, 2000
    Date of Patent: April 30, 2002
    Inventor: Rachel Lubart
  • Method for inducing regeneration of injured nerve fibers
    Patent number: 4966144
    Abstract: Light irradiation having a wavelength of 380-1200 nm was found to have beneficial healing properties on the nervous system.By the method, the regeneration of an injured spinal cord is induced by transplanting a nerve graft into an injured site of the spinal cord and post-operatively irradiating with light having the above specified wavelength.
