(20) Apparently, the irradiation with visible light of a low intensity creates an additional proton gradient and thus stimulates a new replication and division cycle in the population of cells whose membranes do not have delta pH necessary for the initiation of these processes.
Necrobiosis
Definition:
(n.) The death of a part by molecular disintegration and without loss of continuity, as in the processes of degeneration and atrophy.
