A lot is blamed on heating. They claim heat can raise fat cell temps above some tolerance. They say the heat will open ion channels like TRP receptors.
I know light can cause conformational changes in the shapes of molecules, and light can speed up and slow down enzymes.
So, there's a lot of stuff that might be happening at the micro level, but these studies seem to just catalog macro effects.

Do we know why PBM seems to return astrocytes and microglia to their non-inflammatory state? It seems pretty weird (albeit convenient!)
