Outline of Final Research Achievements

FFT analysis demonstrated that the electromagnetic waves that induced apoptosis in neurons were complex waveforms with various high frequencies.It was also confirmed that the mechanism for electromagnetic wave apoptosis induction was caused by damage of intracellular organelles. Furthermore, the fact that an experiment using porcine eyes proved that electromagnetic waves cause collapse of the crystalline lens cellular structure, leading to cataracts, revealed possibilities for finding a method of preventing cataracts in modern society, in which many electromagnetic waves abound. We also analyzed electromagnetic wave sensitivity in a comparison of healthy and cancer cells. Electromagnetic radiation impeded cell proliferation in healthy cells but actually increased cell proliferation in cancer cells. This suggests that the intracellular organelles of cancer cells have strong antioxidant action, and this finding could contribute to cancer treatment in the future.
