Abstract: For most organisms, molecular oxygen is indispensable for normal physiological metabolism; in humans, prolonged hypoxia in tissues can induce many diseases, exemplified by cardiovascular disease, chronic wounds, and tissue necrosis. Therefore, the oxygen in our environment is vital for life. As a main source of oxygen in the natural world that transforms light energy into chemical energy and oxygen, photosynthesis has been widely studied in scientific research and used in production of food, fuel, and medicine. In recent years, photosynthesis has become more closely involved in biomedicine and has been widely used in photodynamic therapy, tissue regeneration, transplantation, and in treatment of specific diseases. This review summarizes innovative applications of photosynthesis in biomedical research and highlights the theory and implications of clinical treatment for specific diseases.
