The biological effects of geomagnetic field exhibit an important potential for cancer and vascular diseases

Abstract

Xu et al. recently demonstrated that cryptochrome 4 (CRY4) protein, as a light‐dependent magnetic receptor, can sense geomagnetic fields to guide night‐migratory songbirds' navigation and evolution by the formation of composite radical pairs and electron transport. We aim to comment on CRY4 through radical pairs and electron transport for magnetic sensitive in night‐migratory songbirds' migration and evolution. Additionally, we find that the role of magnetic fields is deeply concerning to the scientific community and very enlightening for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and vascular disease. We believe that this commentary makes a significant contribution to the literature because it elaborates on the importance of the geomagnetic field to night‐migratory songbirds and extends the diagnostic and therapeutic value to cancer and vascular disease.
