Visible Red Light Emitting Diode Photobiomodulation for Skin Fibrosis: Key Molecular Pathways

This review examines the therapeutic potential of red light-emitting diode (LED) photobiomodulation for skin fibrosis, a condition affecting millions globally each year. Research suggests that high-fluence red light can decrease fibroblast proliferation and collagen production, potentially mitigating fibrosis progression. Red LED therapy is proposed as a non-invasive alternative to conventional

Protective effects of alpha-lipoic acid on bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis through the repression of NADPH Oxidase 4 and TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathways

This study explores the protective effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis in a rat model, focusing on its role in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. ALA treatment significantly decreased skin thickness and hydroxyproline content, indicating reduced fibrosis severity. Biochemical analyses showed ALA lowered malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, a
