    Fröhlich formulated the hypothesis of coherent electrical polar oscillations in biological systems. The hypothesis predicts that generated electromagnetic field with a dominant electric component has a basic role in organization, transport, and interactions inside a cell and among cells. If mitochondria are entirely functional, the cellular cytoskeleton satisfies conditions for excitation of coherent states, which are assumed to be essential for normal biological activity. Malfunctioning mitochondria and disintegrated cytoskeleton result in disturbances of the Fröhlich's mechanism and consequently - together with biochemical disturbances - can lead to malignant properties of cancer cells.



For a long time, organization of biological systems was understood as organization of the shape, that is. morphogenesis on the basis of chemical processes. An essentially new concept of organization is based on the role of physical fields in living matter which was formulated by H. Fröhlich. H. Fröhlich postulated the existence of long-range quantum mechanical phase correlations and the existence of vibration modes far from thermal equilibrium and formulated the hypothesis of coherent electrical polar oscillations in biological systems.
