Microenvironment Dependent Photobiomodulation on Function-Specific Signal Transduction Pathways

Abstract EN

Cellular photobiomodulation on a cellular function has been shown to be homeostatic.

Its function-specific pathway mechanism would be further discussed in this paper.

The signal transduction pathways maintaining a normal function in its function-specific homeostasis (FSH), resisting the activation of many other irrelative signal transduction pathways, are so sparse that it can be supposed that there may be normal function-specific signal transduction pathways (NSPs).

A low level laser irradiation or monochromatic light may promote the activation of partially activated NSP and/or its redundant NSP so that it may induce the second-order phase transition of a function from its dysfunctional one far from its FSH to its normal one in a function-specific microenvironment and may also induce the first-order functional phase transition of the normal function from low level to high level.
