Deep dives
Understanding Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a therapeutic approach that utilizes red and near-infrared light to elicit biological responses in the body. This therapy primarily targets mitochondria, where light energy stimulates cytochrome C oxidase, a crucial enzyme that enhances ATP production and initiates signaling pathways leading to healing processes. In addition, the TGF-beta growth factor plays a vital role; it is typically inactive in tissues but becomes activated through light exposure, promoting cellular regeneration and wound healing. These two mechanisms, among others, underline the complexity of how light therapy operates at a molecular level, integrating energy transfer to effectuate healing and resilience across various body functions.
