PEMF and atherosclerosis
•
This post is an ad for a Moodle.com course I’d like to create explaining this PEMF publication. I’ve taken a few online courses and learned so much from the discussion than from the actual course material. This post previews what I know about the methods used to generate the hypothesis that PEMF ameliorates the…

Red Light and PEMF
•
This post reviews a pilot study investigating the combination of optical and magnetic stimulation. (COMS) to treat chronic venous leg ulcers. . The devices used in this study may be replicated with commercially available magnetic and optical stimulation devices. The etiology of venous leg ulcers is complex. Treatments are usually compression stockings and other…

CRY2 and TRPC1
•
A recent paper from theQuantumTx group of Alfredo has established a much speculated connection between cryptochrome 2 and the beneficial effects of PEMF on C2C12 myoblasts. The role of Ca2+ influx via TRPC1 channels and subsequent cell signaling was anticipated. The nuclear interaction between CRY2 and TRPC1 was not.

Gravity and PEMF
•
This post examines the effect of up field and down field static magnetic fields in plants and pulsed electromagnetic fields in a a skeletal muscle cell line. Up field and down field is relative to the force of gravity in a manner distinct from the magnetic field of the earth. Just how do these…

TRPC1 and muscle stretch
•
This post is a follow up to a post to discussing 50 Hz PEMF activating sphingosine kinase 1. (Yang 2019) This post explores two things that PEMF and exercise have in common: the both activate TRPC1 Ca2+ channels and increase sphingosine-1-phosphate. This post also explores the interaction between TRPC1 and S1P for muscle health.
