Abstract
Theoretical Concepts in Magnetobiology after 40 Years of Research Vladimir N. Binhi, Andrei B. Rubin. Theoretical Concepts in Magnetobiology after 40 Years of Research. Cells 11, no. 2: 274. 2022. doi:10.3390/cells11020274. (This article belongs to the Special Issue Magnetic Fields and Cells) Abstract: This review contains information on the development of magnetic biology, one of the multidisciplinary areas of biophysics. The main historical facts are presented and the general observed properties of magnetobiological phenomena are listed. The unavoidable presence of nonspecific magnetobiological effects in the everyday life of a person and society is shown. Particular attention is paid to the formation of theoretical concepts in magnetobiology and the state of the art in this area of research. Some details are provided on the molecular mechanisms of the nonspecific action of a magnetic field on organisms. The prospects of magnetobiology for the near and distant future are discussed.
