Arsenic Toxicity: Molecular Targets and Therapeutic Agents

This in-depth review outlines the molecular pathways affected by arsenic toxicity and surveys both conventional and emerging therapeutic strategies. Arsenic exposure—primarily via contaminated water and food—induces oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic alterations, and DNA damage, contributing to carcinogenesis, cardiovascular disorders, and neurotoxicity. The review highlights the use of chelating agents

Photobiomodulation: A review of the molecular evidence for low level light therapy

Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT), is a nonthermal treatment that uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular processes, enhancing ATP production, modulating reactive oxygen species, and activating transcription factors. This molecular activity promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and supports wound healing, neuroprotection, and cellular regeneration.
