Abstract An IEEE review paper describes how very weak magnetic fields (nT-µT) could alter reactive oxygen species (ROS) via „radical pair“ mechanisms - with effects on cell growth, in some cases also in cancer cells. What is proven, what is open? Introduction: Why „weak“ fields are exciting in the first place Non-ionizing fields are everywhere - from power grids (50/60 Hz) to radio applications toContinue reading

1 Introduction: Why biophotonics is crucial for the medicine of the future Biophotonics is one of the most exciting fields of research of our time. It investigates the ultra-weak light emission that emanates from living cells - the so-called biophotons. These light particles, which are produced in DNA and mitochondria, appear to play a fundamental role in cell communication and energy transfer. TheContinue reading

Many people immediately associate „50 Hz“ with power lines, household electricity and the question: Can this have a biological effect? The scientific discussion here is complex - and that is precisely why it is worth taking a sober look at the possible mechanisms: What processes are even being discussed in cells when extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) are involved?Continue reading

The biophysical principles of electromagnetic fields play an important role in frequency therapy in terms of coupling to biological tissue, dose design and exposure duration. The coupling of electromagnetic fields to biological tissue is influenced by biological parameters such as conductivity or the dielectric properties of cell membranes. These parameters areContinue reading

Bioelectricity and cellular communication are based on the electrochemical membrane potential, which is created by the asymmetry of the selective-permeable distribution of ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride as well as the function of specific ion channels (Brasovan et al., 2025). Ion channels have a regulatory effect on ion transport and influence the electrical potential of the cell membrane. TheContinue reading
