Description
Yun-Jin Hwang and co-authors find how far-infrared light relaxes blood vessels. Their 2025 study uses rat vessel cells and aortas to trace the mechanism behind the gentle dilation long reported for far-infrared therapy.
The light boosted a calcium pump that hauls calcium out of the cell's working fluid into storage, calming contraction. Blocking that pump, or silencing its gene, erased the effect. The trigger was a parting: the rays separated the pump from its natural brake protein without changing either's amount. Mere heat at thirty-nine degrees did none of this. Treated vessels resisted a constricting drug, and blood flow rose in mouse neck arteries. The authors see support for far-infrared therapy against vessel spasm.
