## Abstract The role of transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β) in tendon healing is still not clearly established. TGF‐β affects gene expression primarily through the activation of the Smad signaling pathway. The first step in the Smad pathway is the expression of TGF‐β inducible early gene (TIEG). R
## Background and objective: Low energy laser photostimulation at certain wavelengths can enhance tissue repair by releasing growth factors from fibroblasts and stimulate the healing process. this study was designed to evaluate the influence of laser photostimulation on collagen production in exper
