Abstract
Ultraweak photon emission (UPE), also known as biophoton emission, is a
spontaneous light emission generated during cellular metabolic and oxidative
processes. Our research group was among the first to demonstrate the existence of
UPE in preimplantation mouse embryos and to establish its relationship with
embryonic developmental competence without any stimulation. These studies
provided evidence that photon emission reflects the physiological state of the
developing embryo and may serve as a non-invasive indicator of embryo viability.
The observed phenomena suggest that ultraweak photon emission may represent
an additional layer of biological information transfer, complementing biochemical
and electrophysiological communication pathways. Recent developments in
quantum biology have further strengthened interest in the potential role of
photonic interactions in cellular organization and regulation.
Building upon these findings, we have proposed the concept of the Photon
Emission Embryo Control System (PEECS), which provides an integrative
framework for studying light-mediated cellular communication. This concept has
recently evolved into the PEECS Quantum Research Incubator, an
interdisciplinary research initiative aimed at exploring the interface between
developmental biology, biophotonics, systems biology, and quantum medicine.
The presentation reviews the historical development of this research field,
summarizes key experimental findings, and discusses future perspectives for
quantum-inspired biomedical research.
The PEECS Quantum Research Incubator represents a novel platform for
investigating whether endogenous photonic signaling contributes to biological
self-organization, information processing, and adaptive regulation in living
systems. In our presentation, we will also outline how we successfully address the
technological challenges of this development, as well as the mathematical
approaches and new algorithms we have formulated for processing the recorded
ultra-weak photonic signals.
