Impact of biologically closed electric circuits (BCEC) on structure and function.
1Dept. of Diagnostic Radiology, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.
Summary
Biologically Closed Electric Circuits (BCEC) are fundamental to life, functioning like sophisticated electrical systems within the body. The Vascular-Interstitial Closed Circuit (VICC) is a key BCEC, crucial for healing and tissue repair.
Area of Science:
- Physics
- Biology
- Biophysics
Background:
- The physical world is fundamentally electrical, with matter arising from electromagnetic fields.
- Biological systems exhibit complex, unrecognized closed electric circuits analogous to technological ones.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the principle of Biologically Closed Electric Circuits (BCEC).
- To detail the Vascular-Interstitial Closed Circuit (VICC) as a specific BCEC system.
- To explore the role of BCEC and VICC in biological functions, particularly healing and pathology.
Main Methods:
- Description of BCEC principles and VICC system.
- Analysis of VICC as an in vivo electrophoretic-dielectrophoretic system.
- Examination of VICC activation by metabolic energy or injury currents.
Main Results:
- The VICC functions as an additional circulatory system, enabling bidirectional ion transport.
- VICC activation facilitates metabolite transport, tissue restructuring, and healing.
- Abnormal VICC activation can lead to pathology, while artificial electrophoresis can heal neoplastic formations.
Conclusions:
- BCEC systems, including the VICC, are integral to biological matter and function.
- The VICC plays a critical role in tissue repair and regeneration.
- Understanding and manipulating BCEC may offer new therapeutic strategies for diseases and injuries.
