Exploring the microscopic mechanism how electromagnetic radiation affects blood coagulation process

Abstract

In this study, we explored the mechanism of how modulated radiation affects blood coagulation by measuring the intercellular interactions among red blood cells (RBCs) during the coagulation process. Using optical tweezers, we evaluated the pN-range micro-interactions between coagulating RBCs by determining the power required to trap them. By deriving the coagulation curve of the cellular interactions versus coagulation time, we discovered three distinct phases of the human coagulation process. We discovered that depending on the position of infrared radiation relative to the coagulating RBCs, a mechanism induced by electromagnetic radiation could promote or suppress the blood coagulation by either enhancing or attenuating the interactions among coagulating RBCs during the coagulation process. Additionally, we found that extremely low frequency-modulated radiation was able to induce resonant oscillation of the coagulating RBCs, which could moderate the impact of electromagnetic radiation on blood coagulation.
