Abstract

Changes in the adhesive properties of the cell membrane after irradiation of HeLa cells with monochromatic visible and near-infrared radiation (λ=580-860 nm, i=1.3 W/m2, t=40 sec, D=52 J/m2) are assessed as the number of adherent cells. Three spectral regions (600-625 nm, 645-700 nm, and 720-860 nm) with the maximums near wave-lengths 620, 680, 750, and 825 nm are identified, where the adhesive properties of the cell membrane are observed to be enhanced.
