Human Hair Follicle Biomagnetism: Potential Biochemical Correlates

The study explored the biomagnetism of human hair follicles, focusing on the role of the S100 protein family in energy transfer at a molecular level. Researchers used an optical microscopic approach with nano-sized iron particles to image electromagnetic activity in hair follicles. They discovered that hair follicles emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs) due to metabolic activity linked to S100 proteins. The findings suggested a connection between the biochemical energy of S100 proteins and the biomagnetism of hair follicles.
