ABSTRACT
In neurons and myocytes, selective ion channels in the plasma membrane play a pivotal role in transducing chemical or sensory stimuli into electrical signals, underpinning neural and cardiac functionality. Recent advancements in biomedical research have increasingly spotlighted the interaction between ion channels and electromagnetic fields, especially terahertz (THz) radiation. This review synthesizes current findings on the impact of THz radiation, known for its deep penetration and non-ionizing properties, on ion channel kinetics and membrane fluid dynamics. It is organized into three parts the biophysical effects of THz exposure on cells, the specific modulation of ion channels by THz radiation, and the potential pathophysiological consequences of THz exposure. Understanding the biophysical mechanisms underlying these effects could lead to new therapeutic strategies for diseases.
