Electromagnetic interactions in regulations of cell behaviors and morphogenesis

Abstract

Emerging evidence indicates that the cellular electromagnetic field regulates the fundamental physics of cell biology. The electromagnetic oscillations and synchronization of biomolecules triggered by the internal and external pulses serve as the physical basis of the cellular electromagnetic field. Recent studies have indicated that centrosomes, a small organelle in eukaryotic cells that organize spindle microtubules during mitosis, also function as a nano-electronic generator in cells. Additionally, cellular electromagnetic fields are defined by cell types and correlated to the epigenetic status of the cell. These interactions between tissue-specific electromagnetic fields and chromatin fibers of progenitor cells regulate cell differentiation and organ sizes. The same mechanism is implicated in the regulation of tissue homeostasis and morphological adaptation in evolution. Intercellular electromagnetic interactions also regulate the migratory behaviors of cells and the morphogenesis programs of neural circuits. The process is closely linked with centrosome function and intercellular communication of the electromagnetic fields of microtubule filaments. Clearly, more and more evidence has shown the importance of cellular electromagnetic fields in regulatory processes. Furthermore, a detailed understanding of the physical nature of the inter- and intracellular electromagnetic interactions will better our understanding of fundamental biological questions and a wide range of biological processes.

Biological effects of magnetic fields emitted by graphene devices, on induced oxidative stress in human cultured cells

“…Non-linear mechanisms can amplify weak MF effects at extremely low frequencies. A recently published review focuses on the results described in the literature on the response of cells and tissues to electromagnetic fields ( Sun et al, 2022 ). Ring-shaped electric fields found in nature are essential for cell surface interactions and crucial for the normal development of the organism and its physiological functions: Based EMFs, e.g., in wounds and bone fractures.…”

Maxwell's equations with continuously distributed currents clarify the nature of energy and momentum transfer in electromagnetic interactions

“…This transfer enables remote physical measurements, where an EM signal received by a detector is interpreted as an intrinsic radiation property of the emitter. Maxwell's equations are commonly used to describe generation of EM fields and the associated energy and momentum transfer in diverse application contexts spanning from commonplace communication and imaging to emerging space exploration and quantum information [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] .…”
