Description
Terahertz (THz) waves can influence a diverse spectrum of cellular processes. In the present study, we focus on the effect of high-power broadband THz pulses on cell culture. An experimental setup for long-term irradiation of cells with THz pulses with intensities of about 32 GW/cm2 has been developed. Human skin fibroblasts were exposed to THz pulses with a field strength of about 3.5 MV/cm for 90 min. Preliminary results on the THz-induced apoptosis process in cells are presented. (paper)
