Ultra-Weak Photon Emission from Biological Systems Endogenous Biophotonics and Intrinsic Bioluminescence /

This book addresses the phenomenon of biological autoluminescence (also known as ultraweak photon emission, UPE, biochemiluminescence, or biophotons) and deals with a very broad spectrum of subjects, ranging from basic observational studies to molecular mechanisms, free-radical processes, physics of...
