In recent years, increasing attention has been directed towards the possible biological effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF), particularly regarding their interaction with molecular and cellular components. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, specifically TRPM8, have emerged as key candidates due to their roles in thermosensation and cellular signaling and a...

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) have gained widespread therapeutic use, yet their underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Historically attributed to electric field effects, recent studies propose a magnetic basis grounded in the Radical Pair Mechanism (RPM). This framework explains how low-intensity magnetic fields influence radical pair spin dynamics via Zeeman and hyperfine interactions,...

380. Reactive Oxygen Species Modulation via Magnetic and Computational Insights in ETF: Part II - Biochemical Mechanisms

Electron Transfer Flavoprotein (ETF) has been identified as a potential biochemical magnetoreceptor, modulating Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) through a radical pair mechanism influenced by magnetic fields. This study integrates biophysical optimization frameworks from Part I with computational modeling to investigate ETF’s structural and functional responses to magnetic fields, particularly...
