Abstract. This is a review of the second lecture in the "Bioelectronic Medicine or Look at Medicine Differently" series, which presents and substantiates its key concepts, meanings, and relevance. New perspectives on the role of biological membranes in cells are presented. It is substantiated that the ability to generate electromagnetic fields/currents is a key function of membranes and the biophysical basis of the phenomenon of life in vivo.

Albert Szent-Györgyi (1893-1986, Hungary-USA), a 1937 Nobel laureate for his series of works on biological oxidation, published his fundamental work "Bioelectronics" in 1969. The appearance of this publication can be considered the date of the beginning of the study of the role of electromagnetic processes in molecular biology. A. Szent-Györgyi was the first to offer calling this branch of knowledge bioelectronics and outlined the tasks and directions for future research

Materials and methods. Biophysical models and scientific data theorized by physicists and published in the specialized literature were analyzed. General scientific methods (dismemberment and integration of elements of the studied system, imaginary experiment, logical and historical research, analysis, induction, deduction, and synthesis of knowledge) and theoretical methods (method of constructing theory, logical methods, and rules of normative nature) were used in this theoretical study.

Results. It is important to understand that the emergence of pathology in the functioning of a biological cell/tissue/organ will be associated with a primary change in the course of electromagnetic processes. This is objectively manifested in changes to the parameters of their electromagnetic fields and their frequency-wave characteristics. These are important, promising parameters for an objective assessment of the functions of human organs during the development of internal diseases. This is a promising direction for further research into the magnetic fields of internal organs in health and disease.

Conclusions.

1. The latest layer of fundamental knowledge in quantum physics, as applied to the quantum role of cellular membranes in the phenomenon of biological life, must be integrated into the educational process of training specialists in the biological and medical fields.
2. This knowledge possesses significant paradigm-transforming potential, significantly deepening and changing scientific understanding of the etiopathogenesis of internal organ diseases.
3. Modern scientists must recognize that the phenomenology of life has a purely electromagnetic basis. However, the role of biological membranes is not purely mechanistic. Due to their liquid-crystalline state, biological membranes are unique generators and conductors of electromagnetic signals.
