The main objective of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (G-AgNPs) and photobiomodulation (PBM; laser irradiation at 830 nm with 5 J/cm2) in normal wounded and diabetic wounded fibroblast cells (WS1).Methods: The combined effect of G-AgNPs and PBM was studied by various in vitro wound healing studies including cell morphology, cell migration rate and percentage wound closure, cell viability, cell proliferation, and filamentous (F)-actin and nuclear morphology staining.Results: Cell viability results revealed good cellular compatibility of G-AgNPs to WS1 cells. The combined therapy of G-AgNPs and PBM demonstrated promising results to achieve progressive migration and wound closure in both normal wounded and diabetic wounded cell models. G-AgNPs alone and in combination with PBM had no negative effect on cell viability and proliferation, and there was an increase in cell migration.Conclusion: Overall, these findings demonstrate that the combined treatment of G-AgNPs and PBM does not display any adverse effects on wound healing processes in both normal wounded and diabetic wounded cell models.Keywords: green synthesis, silver nanoparticles, photobiomodulation, laser, wound healing, cell migration
