A physical (electromagnetic) model of differentiation. 2. Applications and examples.
The electromagnetic model of cell differentiation originated by Nagl and Popp (1983) was applied to two biological events, chromatin condensation and photoperiodicity (oscillations). Some experiments are suggested, which may help to refute or verify, respectively, the role of ultraweak photon emission in differentiation and the control of gene activity.
