Abstract
The influence of electric and magnetic fields on [rat] microtubule assembly in vitro was studied. Both types of field caused alignment of microtubules in parallel arrays, as demonstrated by EM. A possible role of microtubules in the biological effects of exogenous as well as endogenous fields is suggested.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
