A photon-driven micromotor can direct nerve fibre growth

T Wu, TA Nieminen, S Mohanty, J Miotke, RL Meyer… - nature …, 2012 - nature.com
Axonal path-finding is important in the development of the nervous system, nerve repair and
nerve regeneration. The behaviour of the growth cone at the tip of the growing axon …

Pharmacologic fibroblast reprogramming into photoreceptors restores vision

…, D Davis, T Mock, S Batabyal, A Ni, S Mohanty… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Photoreceptor loss is the final common endpoint in most retinopathies that lead to
irreversible blindness, and there are no effective treatments to restore vision 1 , 2 . Chemical …

[HTML][HTML] Pain inhibition by optogenetic activation of specific anterior cingulate cortical neurons

…, M Romero-Ortega, Y Kim, PN Fuchs, SK Mohanty - PloS one, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Cumulative evidence from both humans and animals suggests that the anterior cingulate
cortex (ACC) is important for pain-related perception, and thus a likely target for pain relief …

Optical techniques in optogenetics

SK Mohanty, V Lakshminarayananan - Journal of modern optics, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Optogenetics is an innovative technique for optical control of cells. This field has exploded
over the past decade or so and has given rise to great advances in neuroscience. A variety of …

Comparative analysis of different laser systems to study cellular responses to DNA damage in mammalian cells

X Kong, SK Mohanty, J Stephens, JT Heale… - Nucleic acids …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Proper recognition and repair of DNA damage is critical for the cell to protect its genomic
integrity. Laser microirradiation ranging in wavelength from ultraviolet A (UVA) to near-infrared (…

Self-rotation of red blood cells in optical tweezers: prospects for high throughput malaria diagnosis

SK Mohanty, A Uppal, PK Gupta - Biotechnology letters, 2004 - Springer
A simple and sensitive approach for detection of malarial parasite in blood samples is
demonstrated. The approach exploits our finding that, in hypertonic buffer, a normal red blood cell (…

Digital holographic microscopy for quantitative cell dynamic evaluation during laser microsurgery

L Yu, S Mohanty, J Zhang, S Genc, MK Kim… - Optics express, 2009 - opg.optica.org
Digital holographic microscopy allows determination of dynamic changes in the optical
thickness profile of a transparent object with sub-wavelength accuracy. Here, we report a …

Optical binding between dielectric particles

SK Mohanty, JT Andrews, PK Gupta - Optics Express, 2004 - opg.optica.org
We report observation of optical binding between two dielectric particles with dimensions less
than the wavelength of the interacting light. The observed dependence of the separation of …

[HTML][HTML] In-depth activation of channelrhodopsin 2-sensitized excitable cells with high spatial resolution using two-photon excitation with a near-infrared laser …

SK Mohanty, RK Reinscheid, X Liu, N Okamura… - Biophysical journal, 2008 - cell.com
We used two-photon excitation with a near-infrared (NIR) laser microbeam to investigate
activation of channelrhodopsin 2 (ChR2) in excitable cells for the first time to our knowledge. By …

Dynamics of Interaction of RBC with optical tweezers

SK Mohanty, KS Mohanty, PK Gupta - Optics express, 2005 - opg.optica.org
It has recently been shown that a red blood cell (RBC) can be used as optically driven motor.
The mechanism for rotation is however not fully understood. While the dependence on …
