Abstract

This chapter delves into the application of photobiomodulation (PBM) in neuronal cell cultures, focusing on the importance of in vitro studies and the various cellular mechanisms affected by this treatment approach. Section 1 discusses the importance of in vitro studies, highlighting their value in providing controlled environments for the investigation of PBM’s effects on neuronal cells. In vitro models allow researchers to isolate specific factors, test various treatment parameters, and elucidate underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. Section 2 presents an overview of in vitro PBM studies, organized into several subsections discussing the different cellular mechanisms impacted by PBM. These mechanisms include cytochrome c oxidase activity, nitric oxide modulation, reactive oxygen species modulation, mitochondrial membrane potential regulation, and Ca2+ regulation. Overall, this chapter provides a comprehensive understanding of PBM’s effects on neuronal cell cultures, emphasizing the importance of in vitro studies for elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this therapeutic approach.
