Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method, composition and system respond to ionizing radiation to adjust biological activity. In some approaches the ionizing radiation is X-ray or extreme ultraviolet radiation that produces luminescent responses that induce biologically active responses.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An ionizing-radiation-responsive composition, comprising: a luminescent material, the luminescent material being responsive to ionizing radiation to produce optical energy in at least one wavelength band; a photosensitive biologically active material, the photosensitive biologically active material being responsive to optical energy in the at least one wavelength band; and a matrix material disposed to at least partially sustain proximity of the luminesc…
