Investigation into the interaction of microwave radiation with live blood cells

MM waves are known to influence metabolic processes in biological systems (for example, ATP synthesis, ion transport through cell membranes, regulatory processes, etc.) and to have therapeutic effects on certain diseases. At the same time, the understanding of the physical mechanisms behind the interaction of weak electromagnetic waves with live cells falls behind practical applications of MM waves in medicine. The mechanisms behind the effect of MM waves on animal cells remain uninvestigated, while techniques and biological models for their research are still to be developed. Investigations into a model cell system have allowed for recommendations to be developed for the stimulation or inhibition of certain cell functions occurring in various impairments. A possibility of developing a conceptually new microwave diagnostics technique with the goal of increasing the resistance of biological cells has been shown.
