Research Abstract	Further elucidation of photo-chemical effects of low-energy laser irradiation on cultured cells are required. The present reported mainly our studies on effects of low-energy laser irradiation with He-Ne laser. We have been also exa mining effects of He-Ne laser irradiation on proliferation activity of rat bone-marrow-derived osteoblastic cells. Results of the study suggest that He-Ne laser irradiation stimulates both proliferation and differentiation capacity of the cells. We also examined effects of He-Ne laser irradiation on a growth of mouse colonic-carcinoma-derived tumor cells. Results of the study showed that a brief irradiation stimulated proliferation of the cells.
