    TLDR A 532 nm laser at 15 J/cm2 speeds up tendon healing by increasing tendon stem cell growth and tendon-related gene activity.
    The study investigated the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with a wavelength of 532 nm on the proliferation and differentiation of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) from Sprague-Dawley rats. The ideal energy was determined to be 15 J/cm2. The results showed that at this energy density, the proliferation capacity of TDSCs improved (2.73 ± 0.24 vs. 1.81 ± 0.71, P < 0.05), and the expression of genes related to tenogenic differentiation of TDSCs significantly increased (P < 0.01), indicating potential for tenogenic differentiation. The study also found that Nr4a1, a gene identified through RNA-seq and bioinformatics analyses, was involved in the tenogenic differentiation process of TDSCs regulated by the 532 nm laser treatment. The study concluded that a 532 nm laser with 15 J/cm2 could accelerate tendon healing by regulating the process of TDSC proliferation and tenogenic differentiation through up-regulating Nr4a1.

      Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is debated for hair regrowth, with some users suggesting it should be combined with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for effectiveness. Many users express skepticism about LLLT's efficacy and cost, emphasizing the need for the correct wavelength and quality devices.
