Locomotory characteristics of fibroblasts within a three-dimensional collagen lattice: modulation by a helium/neon soft laser.

abstract：:Since the first use of lasers in ophthalmology in the early 1960s, applications for the medical laser have been found in many medical specialties. Despite their increasing usefulness, lasers have been reported to induce injuries. Few studies have tried to quantify the number of injuries caused by the clinical use of l...
