Evening home lighting adversely impacts the circadian system and sleep

November 10, 2020
Cain, S.W., McGlashan, E.M., Vidafar, P. et al. Evening home lighting adversely impacts the circadian system and sleep. Sci Rep 10, 19110 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-75622-4 Abstract The regular rise and fall of the sun resulted in the development of 24-h rhythms in virtually all organisms. In an evolutionary heartbeat, humans have taken control of their light environment with electric light. Humans...

Photobiomodulation of the Visual System and Human Health

October 28, 2020
Open access article Buch, J.; Hammond, B. Photobiomodulation of the Visual System and Human Health. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2020, 21, 8020. Review Abstract Humans express an expansive and detailed response to wavelength differences within the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. This is most clearly manifest, and most studied, with respect to a relatively small range of electromagnetic radiation that...
