Effects of Visible Laser Radiation on Cultured Cells

  • Chapter
Laser Systems for Photobiology and Photomedicine

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 252))

Abstract

A developing therapeutic role for laser phototherapy in treating patients with skin diseases has led to interest in the effects of visible light on cultured cells. The need to examine the action of different visible radiation wavelengths upon cellular cultures arises partially from the knowledge that disorders which respond to laser phototherapy, such as indolent wounds and trophic ulcers may be associated with increased proliferation of cells surrounding the injuries.
