Abstract
This project was intended to conduct experimental studies on the effects of two types of electromagnetic (EM) waves on living states with potential applications as novel therapeutic modalities. The first part of this study, conducted in collaboration with the University of Alberta, involved cancer research and specifically explored potential therapeutic applications of photobiomodulation (PBM). PBM involves the use of non-ionizing EM radiation in the range between infrared and ultraviolet to induce biological effects on cells, tissues and organisms. The devices used for the experiments were the Bioptron device, which emits a hyperpolarized light beam (HPL) at 40 mW/cm², and the Vielight NeuroPro device, which utilizes an infrared light beam at 60 mW/cm² with a 10 Hz frequency sweep.
Three different cancer cell lines were used in the experiments, namely: PC3, HeLa, and MCF7
