Pulsed infrared laser irradiation of the thymus region stimulated the production of thymosin alpha-1 in healthy animals and normalized its levels in stressed ones. Direct laser exposure of cultured human thymus cells confirmed this effect, suggesting low-energy laser therapy could be used to boost natural thymosin alpha-1 production.
