Preface Lecture 1. Introductory remarks. Where we are and whither we move? 1.1. Laser biostimulation appeared to be a photobiological phenomenon. Does this finding have a broader biological meaning? 1.2. Perspective developing areas of laser phototherapy 1.2.1. Irradiation reverses the toxic effects of neurotoxins and retinotoxins 1.2.2. Promotion of functional recovery of injured peripheral nerves and spinal cord 1.2.3. Light therapy in case of stroke, acute myocardial infarction and coronary angioplasty 1.2.4. Stimulation of proliferation of satellite (stem) cells 1.2.5. Laser therapy for prevention and treatment of oral mucositis induced by chemotherapy 1.2.6. Possible stimulation of fertilization (light action on spermatocytes) 1.2.7. Biotechnology 1.2.8. Blood irradiation 1.2.9. Antagonizing effect of light on the myotoxic and/or muscle damaging activity of viper snake venom 1.2.10. Old knowledge revisited with the same conclusions Lecture 1– Key Points
