Green and near-infra red lasers transform adult stem cells from body fat faster (VIDEO)
Caption
Stem cell therapy needs a lot of human cells, of a specific type. Shining a near-infrared laser on adult stem cells derived from human body fat, makes the stem cells replicate 54% faster. Following that up with a green laser, enables the stem cells to transform into different kinds of cells faster and more reliably, finds UJ researchers. The consecutive irradiation results in increased proliferation and differentiation under laboratory conditions. The research from the University of Johannesburg appears in Biochimie, at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biochi.2021.07.009
