Episode notes
Photon Fluence Harmonizes PBM Doses
- The PBM field faces dosing complexity due to different devices and doses used in research.
- Researchers propose photon fluence, accounting for photon energy, to harmonize dosing across wavelengths.
Adjust Time by Wavelength
- Adjust treatment time based on wavelength: use 30% less time for red light.
- Use 80% less time when using blue light to avoid overdosing.
Cell Types Dictate PBM Dose
- Different cell types require different PBM doses for effects.
- Fibroblasts need higher doses than epithelial cells due to ROS scavenging capabilities.
