Abstract

Overview

The study commenced in 1972 with the intention of discovering how electromagnetic fields might impact biological systems, starting with experiments on slime mold.

Findings

• Initial tests indicated subtle effects of electromagnetic fields on the cell cycle and respiration of slime mold.
• Subsequent experiments broadened to other bacterial and eukaryotic cells, observing changes in respiration, ATP, and protein replication chains.
• Investigations extended to nerve cells, noting alterations in neurotransmitter leakage and neurite outgrowth.
• The study also involved computational modeling of internal electric fields in bone fractures and spinal cords.

Conclusion

Despite achieving deeper understanding of electromagnetic interactions with biological tissues, the underlying mechanisms remain largely uncovered. The continued exploration signifies the iterative nature of scientific inquiry, highlighting small incremental findings that prompt further questions.
