Magnetic Signals Guide Cellular Responses

Magnetic properties in substances are linked to unpaired electrons, particularly in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). While commonly perceived as harmful, ROS and RNS produced by mitochondria play a vital role in cellular signaling when present in appropriate doses. The efficacy of this signaling can be affected by environmental conditions, such as being in poorly ventilated spaces, which alters the magnetic characteristics of these signaling molecules. This emphasizes the importance of both the quantity and quality of ROS and RNS for accurate cellular communication.
