Abstract

Nearly half a century after its discovery, the precise origin of light-induced vasodilation (photorelaxation) continues to elude the biomedical community. Here we describe spectroscopic experiments that carefully characterize and identify the chromophore responsible for this phenomenon, and its decline in response with aging.
