A Biomagnetic Hypothesis

Richard L. Liboff

ABSTRACT

A hypothesis is suggested to explain the inhibiting effect which magnetic fields have on the growth rate of cells. The mechanism is based on the influence a magnetic field has on the diffusion of charged particles. Electric fields originating within the cell are used to simulate an active transport mechanism. Estimates indicate that the dynamics of cells with charged cytoplasms are significantly perturbed by magnetic fields of the order of 105 gauss.
