Effects of time delays on biological feedback systems and electromagnetic field exposures
Abstract
Overview
No full abstract is provided. However, the study extensively reviews the impact of time delays in biological feedback systems and the effect of electromagnetic field exposures.
Findings
- Biological systems feature complex signaling pathways with feedback and feed forward mechanisms.
- Time delays in these systems can result in varied biological responses like oscillations and bi-stability.
- Exposure to electromagnetic fields and microwaves impacts cellular processes, altering membrane resistance and ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) concentrations even when temperature is held constant.
- The study suggests that the timing and frequency of electromagnetic signals can influence biological responses significantly.
Conclusion
The findings indicate a critical need to understand the time and frequency-dependent nature of electromagnetic exposure on biological systems to predict outcomes like cell growth and immune responses accurately.
