02
Ohana Turcato Macacare, Gustavo de Oliveira Tunis, Paloma Molina Hernandes et al.
Photobiomodulation, also known as low‐level laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate biological tissues. Evidence from the literature indicates that transcranial photobiomodulation can alter neurophysiological activ...

Juliette Pastore, Hervé Cottin, Kafila Saïagh et al.
Experiments conducted in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) since the 1990s have investigated the evolution of organic matter in solid‐phase (including amino acids) under solar photon irradiation to improve our understanding of its stability and reac...
05
Carlos Henrique Pereira Bento, Fabia Barbosa da Silva, Márcio Rosa et al.
The demand for sustainable foods has driven indoor vertical farming, where strawberry—a high‐value crop—responds strongly to light spectral quality. Blue, red, and RBW spectra regulate photosynthesis, morphogenesis, and bioactive compoun...

Rômulo Augusto de Paiva Macedo, Vladimir Galdino Sabino, Hugo Alexandre Oliveira Rocha et al.
This study investigated the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) cultured on polylactic acid (PLA) films. Cells received a single 660‐nm PBM application at nominal radiant exposu...

Victória Batista Ferreira, Álvaro Carneiro de Souza, Lúcia Mara Januário dos Anjos et al.
Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by a metabolic imbalance and oxidative stress, which can lead to significant DNA damage. While photobiomodulation (PBM) is a widely recognized non‐invasive therapy for managing ar...

Paula Zwicker, Antonia Maja Lotta Bradtke, Neysha Lobo Ploch et al.
The formation of biofilms protects bacteria from antibiotic therapy or disinfection based on different mechanisms. The treatment of biofilms is furthermore impeded by their characteristic of being composed of multiple species; thus, it i...
