Despite little mechanistic knowledge the concept of a non-invasive nonthermal intervention that has the potential to modulate regenerative processes is worthy of attention when searching for novel methods of augmenting stem cell-based therapies. Here we discuss the use of LLL irradiation as a photoceutical for enhancing production of stem cell growth chemoattractant factors stimulation of angiogenesis and directly augmenting proliferation of stem cells. The combination of LLL together with allogeneic and autologous stem cells as well as post-mobilization directing of stem cells will be discussed. Introduction Personal Perspective We came upon the field of low level laser LLL therapy by accident. One of our advisors read a press release about a company using this novel technology of specific light wavelengths to treat stroke. Given the possible role of stem cells in post-stroke regeneration we decided to cautiously investigate. As a background it should be said that our scientific team has been focusing on the area of cord blood banking and manufacturing of disposables for processing of adipose stem cells for the past 3 years. Our board has been interested in strategically refocusing the company from services-oriented into a more research-focused model. An unbiased exploration into the various degenerative conditions that may be addressed by our existing know-how led us to explore the condition of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD an
