Biophotonics in morphogenesis and aging

Abstract

The study of intercellular communication mechanisms during morphogenesis and the functional dynamics of human tissues remains a key direction of research. Recent advancements in biophysics have confirmed the existence of an electromagnetic aspect to intercellular communication. The emission of ultraweak photons, known as ultraweak photon emission (UPE), represents a fundamental biophysical process in the vital functions of living organism tissues. Characterized by electromagnetic radiation within the spectral range of 200 to 800 nm, the rate of emission varies from a few photons per cell per day to several hundred photons per organism per day. The consensus among researchers underscores the role of biophotons as key carriers of energy and information in cell interactions, crucial in forming the morphogenetic electromagnetic field underlying tissue development.
