Blue photobiomodulation LED therapy impacts SARS‐CoV‐2 by limiting its replication in Vero cells
Blue light even at longer wavelengths shows antifibrotic activity and may represent a suitable and safe approach in the tvitro findings could represent the starting point for translational applications of PBMT as a supportive approach to fight SARS‐CoV‐2 View abstract
The impact of non-toxic blue light (453 nm) on cellular antioxidative capacity, TGF-β1 signaling, and myofibrogenesis of human skin fibroblasts
Blue light even at longer wavelengths shows antifibrotic activity and may represent a suitable and safe approach in the treatment of fibrotic skin diseases including hypertrophic scarring and scleroderma. View abstract
Blue light (λ=453 nm) nitric oxide dependently induces β-endorphin production of human skin keratinocytes in-vitro and increases systemic β- endorphin levels in humans in-vivo
The described blue light-induced effects that are mediated by bioactive NO-derivates bear a relevant clinical potential to serve as supportive measure in the therapy of several psychiatric disorders. Additionally, due to the positive influence of β-endorphin on the mental state and other psychological parameters of humans, blue light might exert great potential in the home or leisure and sports field.
