Proposed mechanism of photostimulation. Energy is absorbed from the laser light by the intracellular chromophores and converted into metabolic energy, which in turn can lead to cellular proliferation as a result of cellular responses being activated via photostimulation. ??mt, the electrical potential across the mitochondrial membrane; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; ROS, reactive oxygen species.
