Biophotonics and Coherent Systems in Biology

It is now well established that all living systems emit a weak but
permanent photon flux in the visible and ultraviolet range. This
biophoton emission is correlated with many, if not all, biological
and physiological functions. There are indications of a hitherto-
overlooked information channel within the living system. Biophotons
may trigger chemical reactivity in cells, growth control,
differentiation and intercellular communication, i.e. biological
rhythms. Biophotonics is becoming one of the most fashionable fields
in modern science and biotechnology.
