Photo-biomodulatory Response of Low-power Laser Irradiation on Burn Tissue Repair in Mice
Bharath Rathnakar,Bola Sadashiva Satish Rao,Vijendra Prabhu,Subhash Chandra,Sharada Rai,Anuradha Calicut Kini Rao,Anuradha Calicut Kini Rao,Mrinalini Sharma,Pradeep Kumar Gupta,Krishna Kishore Mahato +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a single exposure of 3-J/cm2 fluence at 830-nm enhanced burn wound healing progression in mice, which is equivalent to 5 % povidone iodine treatment (reference standard), applied on a daily basis till complete healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-induced autofluorescence-based objective evaluation of burn tissue repair in mice.
Bharath Rathnakar,Bola Sadashiva Satish Rao,Vijendra Prabhu,Subhash Chandra,Krishna Kishore Mahato +4 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the ability of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) to monitor the variations in collagen intensity at various time points during burn tissue repair in mice, post low-power laser therapy (LPLT) found that the LIF could objectively monitor the progression of burn tissue Repair in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing endogenous collagen by laser-induced autofluorescence in burn wound biopsies: A pilot study
Vijendra Prabhu,Anusha Acharya,Bola S. Satish Rao,Bharath Rathnakar,Pramod Kumar,Vasudeva Guddattu,Krishna Kishore Mahato +6 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that LIAF has the predictive potential, as a noninvasive objective tool to measure the endogenous collagen levels in wound biopsy tissues and provide complementary data conducive for making clinical decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal control of PDGFRα regulates the fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition in wound healing
Longbiao Yao,Bharath Rathnakar,Hae Ryong Kwon,Hiromi Sakashita,Jang Kim,Alex Rackley,James J. Tomasek,William R. Berry,Lorin E. Olson +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined cell fates during skin wound healing in mice with lineage tracing linked to PDGF receptor α (PDGFRα) gene mutations, and found that deletion of PDGFR α decreases proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation by reducing serum response factor (SRF) nuclear localization.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Regulation of Cellular Marker Modulated upon Irradiation of Low Power Laser Light in Burn Injured Mice
Bharath Rathnakar,Vijendra Prabhu,Bola Sadashiva Satish Rao,Subhash Chandra,Sharada Rai,Krishna Kishore Mahato +5 more
TL;DR: Improved tissue restoration was showed in animals treated with optimal laser influence as compared to un-illuminated controls and the beneficial effects of 830 nm laser in burn wound healing and its influence in regulating the cellular marker were clearly demonstrated.
