Summary/Abstract: According to many current investigations, which approve the direct impact of potassium or sodium channels to the cell dividing processes, the presented article outlines an attempt to simulate influence of low frequency electromagnetic field to the cell membrane channels. Activation or inhibition of ion channels could be achieved by various mechanisms e.g. most common is chemical way. In contrast with this fact, the article describes simulations of external low frequency electromagnetic field application on the cell model, which should provide results comparable to the conventional methods.
