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…

PEMF and ceramides
This journey starts with the notion that 50 Hz from powerlines contributes to leukemia via ceramides in lipid membranes. It does so via interaction of PEMF with voltage gated Ca2+ channels. Signaling kinases related to changes in intracellular Ca2+ were examined. Another kinase, Akt, was found to be the signaling kinase and intracellular store…

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.

PEMF and red blood cells
Magnawave and Bionuu Clinic have YouTube videos claiming that PEMF makes red blood cells (RBC) less sticky. A Russian language peer reviewed PEMF publications on the PEMF exposure of RBC ghosts warrants further investigation as it involves a protein sysem important in redox balance. Why RBC appear to be sticky on slides in the…
