which claims to show that THz radiation promotes actin filaments, but their new publication claims are that the THz radiation induces mechanical vibrations which remove or destroy actin filaments. It will be interesting to see where this all goes.

- elcritch 6y agoThey could be doing both. Similar to how oxidants stimulate cellular regeneration. If the THz waves induce mechanical destruction, especially on already weakened or damaged actin filaments, it could induce cellular repair mechanisms to create new action. It might be something useful in certain cases. Say, deep cellular regeneration... or not.
