The key role of chemokine receptor CXCR4 in the maintenance of stemness property of stem cells has been shown recently. The low level laser irradiation (LLLI) is being used currently in a wide variety of clinical cases as a therapeutic tool for wound healing, relieving pain and destroying tumor cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of LLLI mimicking low level laser therapy (LL...

Objective- The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy MSCs transplantation in combination with low level laser irradiation (low level laser irradiation) in repair of experimental acute spinal cord injury. Design- Experimental study. Animals- 28 adult male Wistar Rats. Procedures- A ballon- compression technique was used to produce an injury at the T8-T9 level of spi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Recently, there has been an increase in the clinical application of low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) in various fields. The present study was conducted to explore the effects of LLLI on microcirculation. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIAL AND METHODS We investigated the effects of LLLI on rat mesenteric microcirculation in vivo, and on cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) i...

BACKGROUND Low level laser irradiation (LLLI) stimulates bone regeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to this is not yet understood. The stepwise subtractive cDNA cloning technology has been developed, coupled with DNA homology searched in DNA database is useful to identify the certain gene. AIM In order to understand the mechanism, we attempted to identify genes whose express...

Some biochemical and metabolic characteristics of bovine sperm cells irradiated with low-level laser were probed and correlated to the irradiation parameters. Bovine spermatozoa were exposed to spatially filtered light from a He-Ne laser (633 nm) with fluences from 150 to 600 mJ/cm2. General biochemical alterations were assessed by vibrational spectroscopy (micro-Fourier-Transform Infrared tech...

We suggested that low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) precondition prior to cell transplantation might remodel the hostile milieu of infarcted myocardium and subsequently enhance early survival and therapeutic potential of implanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Therefore, in this study we wanted to address: (1) whether LLLI pre-treatment change the local cardiac micro-environment ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Freezing changes sperm integrity remarkably. Cryopreservation involves cooling, freezing, and thawing and all these contribute to structural damage in sperm, resulting in reduced fertility potential. Low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) could increase energy supply to the cell and cause reactive oxygen species reduction (ROS), contributing to the restoration of oxygen con...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Low level laser irradiation (LLLI) is used to promote wound healing. Molecularly it is known to stimulate mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cytokine secretion, and cell proliferation. This study was designed to determine the influence of LLLI on the kinetics of MMP stimulation and decay, specific cytokine gene expression, and subcellular localization of promyeloc...

introduction: different effects of low level laser irradiation (llli) on various cell types have already been demonstrated. however, its effects on embryonic stem cells have not yet been shown. the present study evaluates the morphological and immunocytochemical effects of llli on human embryonic stem cell (hesc) colonies. material and methods: equal-sized pieces of hesc line (royan h1) were ir...
