Bioimpedance formalism: A new approach for accessing the health status of cell and tissues

This manuscript describes a novel methodology for studying relaxation dynamics in tissues and cells using characteristic frequency of bioimpedance spectroscopy measurements. The Bioimpedance Formalism allows for the simultaneous study of bioelectrical parameters in the frequency and time domains, providing insight into possible relaxation processes occurring in the tissue or cell of interest. Results from the Cole-Cole analysis showed no multiple relaxation processes associated with heterogeneity, with a visible age group separation in males compared with females. The study of the relaxation dynamic in the time domain revealed that the β parameter can be used to analyse the charge carriers in tissues, cells, or cancer cells, potentially leading to new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for cancer and other diseases. Overall, this approach presents a promising area of research for gaining insights into the electrical properties of tissues and cells using bioimpedance methods.
