Interplay between up-regulation of cytochrome-c-oxidase and hemoglobin oxygenation induced by near-infrared laser
(NatureDepartment of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016-08-03)Photobiomodulation, also known as low-level laser/light therapy (LLLT), refers to the use of red-tonear-infrared light to stimulate cellular functions for physiological or clinical benefits. The mechanism of LLLT is assumed ... -
METABOLIC, HEMODYNAMIC AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF TRANSCRANIAL PHOTOBIOMODULATION (tPBM) ON THE HUMAN BRAIN
(2019-08-30)Photobiomodulation (PBM) refers to the use of red-to-near-infrared light to stimulate cellular functions for physiological or clinical benefits. Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is a noninvasive form of cerebral ... -
MODULATION OF PHYSIOLOGIC RESPONSES OF INSULIN SECRETING CELLS USING ELECTRICAL AND PHOTOSTIMULATION
(2020-09-01)Islet transplantation is a surgical procedure aimed at providing insulin independence to those suffering with Type I diabetes. Prior to implantation, a therapeutic window exists ex vivo where the cells can be treated in ... -
PHOTOBIOMODULATION AND STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION: APPLICATION TO MODULATE ADIPOGENESIS THROUGH CELLULAR AND NUCLEAR MORPHOLOGY
(2020-05-28)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of great interest in regenerative medicine due to their capability to self-renew and differentiate to various lineages. Typically, differentiation to specific cell types has relied on ... -
PHOTOBIOMODULATION OF NEURAL STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION USING INFRARED (810 NM) LASER STIMULATION
(2021-05-07)The standardized clinical use of photobiomodulation (PBM) across many applications has been obstructed due to the lack of understanding in how each of the parameters affect the end results. Although the optimal parameters ... -
PHOTOMODULATORY EFFECTS ON INSULIN SECRETING BETA CELLS
(2021-05-06)Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels and affects more than 8% of people worldwide (Rutter et. al, 2015). Typically, diabetes is divided into two large subcategories: ... -
Transcranial Laser Stimulation Improves Human Cerebral Oxygenation
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Department of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 12 January)Transcranial laser stimulation of the brain with near-infrared light is a novel form of non-invasive photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) that has shown therapeutic potential in a variety of neurological ... -
Whole-head functional brain imaging of economic risk decision making and transcranial photobiomodulation with fNIRS and EEG
(2020-09-08)Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) are two non-invasive brain imaging or mapping modalities that allow us to measure cerebral hemodynamic and electrophysiological changes in the ...
