N. Ad and U. Oron [
[1]
] have studied the effect of Low Level Laser Irradiation (LLLI) on infarct size in
rats following myocardial infarction (MI) and found that it leads to a marked reduction
in the size of scar tissue following MI in rats.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
