Ultraweak Photon Emission in the Nervous System: Mechanisms, Disease Relevance, and Translational Opportunities

2026-05-13

Abstract excerpt

Ultraweak photon emission (UPE) refers to spontaneous, low-intensity photon release from biological systems, generated largely through oxidative metabolic reactions involving reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial activity, and electronically excited molecular intermediates. Because the nervous system is highly metabolically active and vulnerable to oxidative stress, hypoxia, excitotoxicity, in...
