Biological specimens
Research on in vitro  samples has been conducted into the effect that healing has on human cells. A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that fibroblasts, bone and tendon cells  grown in culture that had been subjected to either healing, mimicked-healer and no-treatment (control) had different healing rates. It was concluded that healing stimulated cell proliferation. A different trial by the same authors compared the effect of healing on normal and bone cancer cells. This trial concluded that healing encouraged the growth of normal cells and reduced the progression of cancerous cells.
