細胞は音の何を感じているのか？

To a cell, which has no ears, sound is first and foremost neither "music" nor "words" — it is vibration. The subtle oscillations that travel through air, water, and tissue are thought to induce certain changes in the cell membrane and the structures within the cell.

Research suggests that different types of sound may activate different groups of genes. This implies that cells do not perceive vibrations merely as physical impact, but rather as stimuli with distinct, meaningful differences.

At M's system, we have always regarded sound not merely as a means of conveying information, but as a vibrational environment that spreads through space and reaches people. We believe that 'sound quality' encompasses not only frequency characteristics, but also the nature of the waves themselves and how they propagate — and we see this research as shedding new light on precisely that perspective.
