Multi-cellular life forms require many cellular divisions within
colonies to achieve growth and development. According to self-
field theory (SFT) there are biophotonic stages involved in the
overall process termed the cell cycle. While microbiology is largely
based on atomic chemistry, still to embrace biophotonics, this
situation is changing within mainstream academia. Cells occur in
large populations and interact via cell-cell signalling of electric
(E) and magnetic (H) fields. Chromosomes emit biophotons of
specific frequencies within the IR and UV ranges. The divisions
appear to be an SFT process where biogenic E and H fields arise
from diffusion of dipolar proteins within the plasma membranes
of a cell colony. The biogenic mechanisms of cell division include
diffusional processes within metaphase and anaphase. Dipolar
proteins diffuse within cell membranes in response to intra- or
extracellular endogenous or exogenous E and H fields. These
processesinvolveunconstrainedproteindiffusionandtwofeedback
loops, (1) electrical feedback between membrane proteins of a
fertilised cell and those of the colony and (2) magnetic feedback
of biophotons emitted by chromosomes in the fertilised cell in the
colony. Gurwitsch's observations of cell divisions of the 1920s-
1930s, and
