And beyond that, one could make
use of the unparalleled spatial and temporal precision of light signaling to activate compounds such as analgesics,
cytostatic drugs or anti-diabetic agents only at sites where they are required, thus minimizing unwanted side effects.
It has long been known that antibiotics suppress various immune functions, and especially macrophage activities such as chemiluminescence response, chemotactic motility, bactericidal and
cytostatic ability and similar negative effects have also been seen with other commonly
used drugs such as H2 - blockers, proton inhibitors and surface - protection agents.
