Abstract
Purpose: This study investigates two electromagnetic field (EMF) modalities on cancer cells: near-infrared pulsating light (NIR) and hyperpolarized light (HPL).
Methods: PC3, MCF7, and HeLa were exposed to Bioptron (HPL, 40 mW/cm2) and VieLight NeuroPro (NIR, 4.59 mW/cm2, 810 nm, 10 Hz) for 10-60 min, with intermittent breaks. Viability, cytoskeletal and mitochondrial morphology, ATP, and lactate levels were assessed.
Results: NIR primarily enhanced mitochondrial ATP production, while HPL induced early morphological changes. Both modalities showed exposure dependency on viability.
Conclusion: The analysis reveals distinct cellular responses to NIR and HPL, underscoring the importance of optimized protocols for effective EMF therapies.
