Cell cell death communication by signals passing through non-aqueous environments

Abstract Investigation of ultraweak photon emission (UPE) in living mater was started 1920-s by Russian biologist A. Gurwitsch discovered mitogenetic radiation (MGR), ultraviolet light emitted from growing organisms that stimulated similar to grow. MGR attracted enormous interest the scientific community resulting many publications confirming occurrence permanent and spontaneous biophoton during natural metabolic processes diverse organisms. However, along with studies showing existence intercellular electromagnetic communication resulted various responses detector cells there have been numerous unsuccessful attempts confirm biological significance MGR. Here we reported strong evidence for non-chemical signaling leading cellular response. We found ability cell types under conditions oxidative stress induced p-benzoquinones generate death signals, which can affect target over long distances through non-aquatic environments morphological alterations viability loss. show may distinguish respond same way signals transmitted type inducer pharmaceuticals interrupt responses. These findings provide support view a prompt synchronic response ensembles noxious stimuli.
