RT Journal Article T1 Erythrocyte rouleau formation under polarized electromagnetic fields A1 Sebastián Franco, José Luis A1 Muñoz San Martín, Sagrario A1 Sancho Ruíz, Miguel A1 Miranda Pantoja, José Miguel A1 Álvarez Galindo, Gabriel AB We study the influence of an external electromagnetic field of 1.8 GHz in the formation or disaggregation of long rouleau of identical erythrocyte cells. In particular we calculate the variation of the transmembrane potential of an individual erythrocyte illuminated by the external field due to the presence of the neighboring erythrocytes in the rouleau, and compare the total electric energy of isolated cells with the total electric energy of the rouleau. We show that the polarization of the external electromagnetic field plays a fundamental role in the total energy variation of the cell system, and consequently in the formation or disaggregation of rouleau.
