near infrared and lymphatic vessels
The essence of this post is that 1267 nm near infrared light (NIR)activates clearance of particles from mouse brains via the generation of the weakly reactive oxygen species singlet oxygen. This model is consistent with what we know about lymphatic vessel pulsing and singlet oxygen modifications to contractile proteins. The bigger question is if…

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…

electrons of triplet oxygen
Part of the long journey of learning how PEMF interacts with molecular oxygen, O2, is discarding the notions of electrons, atoms, and molecules we learned in grade school.

Cryptochrome and Red Biophotons
The goal of this post was to address the issue of biophotons as they relate to the game changing PEMF company QuantumTx. It is becoming evident that light absorbing cryptochromes play an important role in this therapy. Indeed, cryptochromes are also magnetic field sensors. The concept of biophotons has been proposed as a PEMF…
