Biophotonic Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy on Adipose-Derived Stem Cells for Soft Tissue Deficiency

The impact of 980nm diode laser irradiation on the proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from the umbilical cord's

Various cell types can have their growth accelerated by using low-intensity laser radiation. The study is intended to look at the impacts of laser radiation at low energy intensity on the ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) generated from umbilical cords to proliferate as well as survive in low-nutrient conditions. The study applied two different energy densities, 2.5 j/cm2 and 5 j/cm2, using a 980 nm diode laser radiation. This allowed for the observation of the effects of these specific elements on the behavior of the cells in a controlled environment at various concentrations of fetal bovine (7.5 %, 10 %, 12.5 %, and 15 %). The cells were grown in a medium lacking in nutrients and were enriched with varying quantities of serum from fetal bovines. The MTT test was used to evaluate the mitochondrial activity of the cell. Following 72 hours, it was shown that cells treated with 2.5 j/cm2 and 10 % fetal bovine serum had significantly higher MTT test activity than cells treated with 5 j/cm2.The results of this study show that even in the presence of dietary deficiencies, low-intensity laser radiation therapy can stimulate the growth of mesenchymal stem cells isolated from umbilical cords.

Effect of Infrared and Green Photomodulation Exposure on the Number of Active Myosatellite Cells in Regenerating Muscles

Reparative properties of infrared laser exposure are well known, but the effects of green laser light are little studied. We analyzed the effects of short (60 sec) and longer (180 sec) exposure to infrared (980 nm) and green (520 nm) laser on the number of activated myosatellite cells in the regenerating m. gastrocnemius of Wistar rats after infliction of an incision wound. Histological preparations were used for morphometric evaluation of myosatellite cells with MyoD+ nuclei. Increased numbers of MyoD+ nuclei were observed on days 3 and 7 after 60-sec exposure to infrared and green laser.
