• . To measure the temperature change, a fiber optic probe (Neoptix, Quebec, Canada) was used. Cell culture RAW264.7 cells (mouse monocyte/macrophage-like cells, Mo/Ma) were cloned with the rabbit carboxylesterase (InCE) gene with Tet-On system and made double stable. Generation of the double-stable

Cell culture and cell adhesion experiments: Cell culture maintenance for SHSY-5Y neuroblastoma cells was performed as described previously [24]. The substrates for cell adhesion experiments were passivated with
