Inflammation and mitophagy are mitochondrial checkpoints to aging Antimicrobial Activity of Methylene Blue Associated with Photodynamic Therapy: In Vitro Study in Multi-Species Oral Biofilm Can pre-exercise photobiomodulation improve muscle endurance and promote recovery from muscle strength and injuries in people with different activity levels? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials Transcranial photobiomodulation in children aged 2–6 years: a randomized sham-controlled clinical trial assessing safety, efficacy, and impact on autism spectrum disorder symptoms and brain electrophysiology - Introducing the newest BioBlue product: BioBlue (SR) — a 50/50 blend of methylene blue and leucomethylene blue! For the next week, save 15% on BioBlue (SR) single bottle orders using coupon code "SR15" - Introducing the Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols Ecosystem! -
- Mitophagy's impact on aging (the mitochondria's process of selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy). If you can't get rid of the garbage mitochondria, that's a rotten deal for your health.
- Methylene blue's role in combatting oral biofilm (a sticky film that coats teeth and contains bacteria). Our blue friend may actually be playing a beneficial role by temporarily staining your teeth blue. Who wouldn't trade tooth decay, receding gums and bad breath for that?
- Preconditioning your muscles for improved muscular strength, endurance and recovery. In reality, how beneficial is this strategy for the active population?
- Transcranial photobiomodulation for children with autism spectrum disorder. Is this an efficacious treatment for children to mitigate symptoms of ASD?
