Abstract
Wound healing in diabetic patients remains a complicated problem and there is a compelling need for the development of new, safe, reliable therapies. This study looked at the effect of low intensity laser irradiation (LILI) on diabetic wound healing in vitro. Induced diabetic wounded and hypoxic human fibroblast cells were irradiated at 636 nm with 5 J/cm2. Post-irradiation stressed cells showed increased viability and proliferation and a decrease in apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α). The models used are sufficient to produce measurable effects as compared to normal cells. LILI positively effects wound healing in stressed models, normalises cellular function, and directs cells into cell survival pathways.
