“…Так, биолюминесценция (как, например, у светлячков) обычно видна без использования специально го оборудования и происходит благодаря наличию специальных ферментных механизмов, в частности системы люциферин -люцифераза. Излучение биофотонов, напротив, намного слабее (как правило, составляет менее 1000 фотонов в секунду на 1 см 2 , что на несколько порядков ниже уровня излучения, видимого глазом [13]) и протекает в обычных клетках и тканях. Современные разработки в области обнаружения МГИ с использованием малошумящих фотоэлектронных умножителей и способов их ре гистрации с помощью фоточувствительных матриц цифровых устройств с зарядовой связью позволяют усилить световой сигнал в 100 млн раз и детектировать даже отдельные фотоны [14].…”

Widespread in nature ability of biological objects to emit photons (biophotons) made it possible to create devices for non-invasive and continuous monitoring of the metabolism of organs and tissues, used as a powerful clinical diagnostic tool, as well as for visualisation and spatio-temporal analysis of functioning organs and, in particular, the brain. Numerous experimental data indicating the participation of biophotons in the processes of inter- and intracellular communication served as a theoretical basis for the medical use of low-intensity light therapy for the effective treatment of a wide range of diseases, including delayed wound healing, pain in arthritis, and acute stroke.

Low-intensity light therapy (LILT) is showing promise in the treatment of a wide variety of medical conditions. Concurrently, our knowledge of LILT mechanisms continues to expand. We are now aware of LILT's potential to induce cellular effects through, for example, accelerated ATP production and the mitigation of oxidative stress. In clinical use, however, it is often difficult to predict patient response to LILT. It appears that cellular reduction= oxidation (redox) state may play a central role in determining sensitivity to LILT and may help explain variability in patient responsiveness. In LILT, conditions associated with elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, e.g. diabetic hyperglycemia, demonstrate increased sensitivity to LILT. Consequently, assessment of tissue redox conditions in vivo may prove helpful in identifying responsive tissues. A noninvasive redox measure may be useful in advancing investigation in LILT and may one day be helpful in better identifying responsive patients. The detection of biophotons, the production of which is associated with cellular redox state and the generation of ROS, represents just such an opportunity. In this review, we will present the case for pursuing further investigation into the potential clinical partnership between biophoton detection and LILT.
