In recent years, an increasing number of results from basic research support the view that biophysical, in particular bioelectromagnetic and photobiological factors are fundamental for the functional and structural organization of biosystems.
Despite the relatively well-known and well researched bioelectromagnetic factors (endogenous currents, static and dynamic electric and magnetic fields as well as electromagnetic fields) in the context of biological function, photobiological factors (endogenous photon emissions) have become the focus of research as an additional entity influencing and guiding life processes.
Are we heading towards a new paradigm in the understanding of life?
One of the manifestations of living system’s non-equilibrium behavior is the permanent production of electron excitation in biomolecules leading to ultra-weak photon emission.

Based on solid experimental evidence, chapter six explains the generation of electron excited chemical species due to free radical and reactive oxygen species reactions.
Biological ultra-weak photon emission is of very general nature. It is detectable from every metabolically active biological species under suitable conditions.
Chapter seven focuses on ultraweak photon emission from multicellular organisms, namely plants, tumor tissues and humans. It relates photon emission to development and structure as well as to tumor and normal cells comparing them with reference to growth properties.
The eighth chapter explains the peculiar phenomenon of non-chemical influences between cell cultures through glass barriers. It is suspected that the non-chemical interaction between cell cultures is mediated by photon emission generated by cells. A special emphasis is given on confounding effects and the method itself in order to gain understanding about the function.
As statistical properties of biological ultra-weak photon emission have been a source of controversy in past decades; chapter nine assesses available experiments studying optical coherence, quantum states and signal properties of biological ultra-weak photon emission.
Chapter ten aims to explain that the electrodynamic activity of living cells involves a broad range of frequencies, namely from kilohertz to terahertz.
These frequency ranges are related to electromechanical vibrations of subcellular structures. It is hypothesized that electrodynamic fields generated by such sub-cellular coupled oscillations contribute significantly to biological self-organization
