Biological Polymers & Tissue Synchronization:
what are the structures that could produce the inductance between cells?
The cancer cell functions and moves as a single and separate cell and the normal controlling signals are not present. For the normal multicellular state to exist there must be rapid communication between cells. These signals must cross distances considered long range for chemical reactions and for electrostatic charge transfer in biomatter.These signals must cross where there are no neurologic connections and no neural synapses. I have proposed that pulsed magnetic inductance easily penetrates biomatter over distance. But what are the structures that could produce the inductance between cells? I here recount some of this information, now in press. [Merrill Garnett, May 28, 2001]
Two natural biological polymers, DNA and prothrombin, form extensive reversible (liquid crystal) dendritic networks as a function of charge and/or field, when they are associated with the intercellular matrix polymer hyaluronic acid. When these first two polymers are associated with hyaluronic acid they each form cables microscopically resembling the parallel twin wire transmission cables used in electronics. Such transmission cables are efficient for signal transfer at defined electronic impedance, voltage, and frequency. I have reported that these paired polymers produce an inductance field when they are exposed to a pulsed cation current. This is in keeping with the Faraday Maxwell law of induction as in wires, coils, and transformers. A model for cell DNA-to-cell DNA inductive signalling is suggested by the intermediate role of prothrombin-hyaluronic acid acting with the coil-to-coil field geometry of an electric transformer. The vascular flow of prothrombin then forms a kind of common biological internet for cells to log onto. Hence tissue synchronization. |
