Promising but preliminary

Visible light reprograms MSCs and T cells into tumor-suppressive states via OPN4-mediated epigenetic remodeling.

Cellular metabolism critically influences tumor resistance. These findings demonstrate that visible light pulses can epigenetically reprogram MSCs and T cells, offering a potential therapeutic strategy for breast cancer and bone metastasis.
