Red Light and fibrosis
•
The featured image was adapted from the study of Lei 2019 who addressed the “feed forward” synergy between TGFβ and hypoxia inducible factor alpha (HIFα). The authors were interested in why these scars grow so out of control and exceed the expected margins of the wound. It all has to do with gene transcription…

red light and cerebral blood flow and depression
•
Red and near infrared photobiomodulation are good for depression? Enhancement of cytochrome C oxidase activity in the mitochondria is addressed in a round about way in the transcranial red light post. Red light may simply improve blood flow to the depressed brain via the release of nitric oxide. Some reports suggest the nitric oxide…

blue green light fat
•
This post critically examines the notion that different colors of light can influence adipose or adipose stem cells. While photobiomodulation might have a place in clinics that use adipose stem cells for regenerative therapies, there just seem to be a lot of unanswered questions. The science is certainly interesting!

Radio frequency ablation
•
Radio frequency ablation uses radio frequency AC currents applied with a tissue inserted electrode. RF AC currents can generate RF electromagnetic fields in electrical wires via the “skin effect.” Current is most dense on the outside of the wire. This describes biopolymers like microtubules with their tubulin monomers (featured image). Radio frequency AC currents…

PEMF bladder infection
•
Cystitis is defined as a bladder infection, generally caused by a bladder infection. Ivan D’Agostino is an independent researcher out of Rome Italy. F Marcelli is affiliated with CRESO LLCs, 6830 Chiasso, Switzerland came up with a PEMF protocol to treat drug resistant E coli cystitis. The authors found some encouraging results in terms…
