Measuring dynamics of caspase‐3 activity in living cells using FRET technique during apoptosis induced by high fluence low‐power laser irradiation

Low‐power laser irradiation (LPLI) has been used for therapies such as curing spinal cord injury, healing wound etc. Yet, the mechanism of LPLI remains unclear. In order to determine the effects of high fluence LPLI on cell growth and caspase‐3 activity, we have measured the dynamics of caspase‐3 activity during cell apoptosis induced by high fluence LPLI treatment.
