Light-based therapies are not entirely new in medicine. They are already used today:
Laser Eye Treatments
dermatological light therapy
Photodynamic therapies for certain skin cancers
Laser operations.
However, the new method is much more sophisticated, as the light is combined with a special molecule inserted into the body.
Where is the research now?
The current results come from laboratory and preliminary studies. The researchers’ next step could be conducting animal testing and subsequently clinical trials in humans.
Experts emphasize that although the results are promising, they are still needed for several years of research and testing before the method can be widely used.
