Cancer Growth and Its Inhibition in Terms of Coherence

Pages 53-60 | Published online: 07 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

It is shown that a molecular origin for growth inhibition is rather unlikely because the cross-sectional area of inhibitory forces in a cell population cannot exceed more than about 10−8 Dalton. A model of the time dependence of cell number N(t), where t is the time, is based on biophotons and explains without any contradiction to known experimental results growth regulation in terms of the factor a = 1/T, which stimulates the cell division rate dN/dt and the factor b = dT/dN(1/T2), which inhibits cell division. It accounts for the total cell division rate dN/dt = aN(t) − bN2(t). For adults, T is the coherence time of about 106 s, corresponding to the longest lifetime of cell organelles in men, while dT/dN = 10−7 s corresponds to the resolution time of the cell population which is always the average time interval between two cell loss events. Our model follows a stringently holistic approach to describing a cell population as an entity, regulated by a fully coherent (biophoton) field.
