Quantifying Biophoton Emissions From Human Cells Directly Exposed to Low-Dose Gamma Radiation

Those here provoked are not naturally occurring biophotons that communicate with other cells but there are biophotons that are generated after the exposure of cells (cancer cells) to beta radiation, and as important number of ultraviolet biophotons are generated and irradiated to everywhere, possibly are causing more damage, there are possibly implicated in the "bystander effect" that is known to affect non-irradiated cells (for example in cancer therapy).

" Photon emissions were captured at either 340 nm (in the ultraviolet A [UVA] range) or 610 nm. At the same cell density, radiation exposure time, and radiation dose, HCT116 p53+/+ cells emitted 2.5 times more UVA biophotons than 610-nm biophotons. For the first time, gamma radiation was shown to induce biophoton emissions from biological cells. As cellular emissions of UVA biophotons following beta radiation lead to BEs, the involvement of cellular emissions of the same type of UVA biophotons in gamma radiation-induced BEs is highly likely." {Credits 1}
