JOSEPHSON SEMICONDUCTOR MODEL

From a geometric perspective, it is possible to compare two dividing cells in living systems with a Josephson junction of superconductivity [91]. The

Josephson junction may represent a gap junction between two nearby cells coupled via electromagnetic interactions, which provides a mechanism forthe transfer of correlated charged particles, electrons, and ions. The gap junctions serve to transmit electrical signals between adjacent cells with­out the need for mediation by a neurotransmitter or messenger substance [92]. Positive experimental results were attained in yeast cells by exam­ining their current-voltage characteristics and radiofrequency oscillation spectra during cell division [91].
