Abstract (original English)

Background Embryoid bodies (EBs) are three-dimensional (3D) multicellular cell aggregates that are derived from stem cell and play a pivotal role in regenerative medicine. They recapitulate many crucial aspects of the early stages of embryonic development and is the first step in the generation of various types of stem cells, including neuronal stem cells. Current methodologies for differentiating stem cells into neural embryoid bodies (NEBs) in vitro have advanced significantly, but they still have limitations which necessitate improvement. Photobiomodulation (PBM) a low powered light therapy is a non-invasive technique shown to promote stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Methods This in vitro study elucidated the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on the differentiation of immortalized adipose-derived stem cells (iADSCs) into NEBs within a 3D cell culture environment. The study utilized PBM at wavelengths of 825 nm, 525 nm, and a combination of both, with fluences of 5 and 10 J/cm 2 . Morphology, viability, metabolic activity, and differentiation following PBM treatment was analysed. Results The results revealed that the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) are dose dependent. PBM, at 825 nm with a fluence of 10 J/cm 2 , significantly enhanced the size of neural embryoid bodies (NEBs), improved cell viability and proliferation, and reduced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
