Overview

• A study from the University of Calgary and Canada’s National Research Council has imaged ultraweak photon emissions (UPE) in entire living and dead organisms for the first time.
• These faint biophotons, produced by metabolic processes, vanish upon death, confirming a direct link between UPE and living cellular activity.
• Researchers observed that stressed or injured tissues emit brighter UPE, correlating emission intensity with cellular health and damage.
• Using ultra-sensitive imaging systems, scientists captured UPE from live and deceased mice as well as plants, with emissions concentrated in metabolically active areas.
• The study proposes UPE monitoring as a potential noninvasive diagnostic tool for tracking tissue health, disease progression, and plant growth.
