Uncovering the relationship between life and sound

There is a feeling of trying – there is no take -off plane or a loudspeaker at a concert – to the point that you feel it in your being. When this happens, not only imagine your mind and ears, but your cells may also act.

Technically, Sound is a simple phenomenon, consisting of pressure mechanical waves that are transmitted through the materials in the world in the world of non -standard materials. Sound is also a vital source of environmental information for living organisms, while its ability to create physiological responses at the cell level does not just start.

After the previous work of 2018, a team of researchers at the University of Kyoto was inspired by research in mechanical science and sound represented in the body-the vocal environment in the tissues of the body-which is granted that the sound pressure that transmits sound may be sufficient to urge cellular responses.

“To explore the effect of sound on cellular activities, we have designed a system to shower cells cultivated in sound waves,” says the corresponding author, Masherao Coomita.

The results were published in Communications biology.

The team first connected the vibration adapter upside down on a shelf. After that, using a digital sound player connected to an amplifier, send audio signals across the transformer to the caught attached to the cell culture dish. This allowed researchers to remove vocal pressure within the physiological sound of cultivated cells.

After this experiment, the researchers analyzed the effect of the sound on the cells using the RNA, microscope, and other methods. Their results revealed the responses at the cell level of the audio stimulus.

In particular, the team noticed the great effect of sound in the suppression of the distinction of lipid cells, the process that the pre -cells convert into fat cells, and unveiled the possibility of using audio to control cases of cells and tissues.

“Since the sound is not material, voice motivation is an expanded, safe and immediate tool, and it is likely to benefit from medicine and health care,” says Communa.

The research team also identified about 190 generations of sound sensitive, noticed the effect of the sound in controlling cell adhesion activity, and noticed the mechanism of the cells under the cellular in which the sound signals are transferred.

In addition to providing convincing evidence of a cell perception at the cell level, this study also challenges the traditional concept of vocal vision through living organisms, which is that it is mediated by the acceptance members like the brain. It turns out that your cells also respond to sounds.
