Low [[intensity (physics)|intensity]] (usually 10&nbsp;mW/cm<sup>2</sup> or less) electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequency may be used in human [[medicine]] for the treatment of [[disease]]s. For example, "A brief, low-intensity MMW exposure can change [[cell growth]] and proliferation rates, activity of [[enzyme]]s, state of cell genetic apparatus, function of excitable membranes and peripheral receptors."<ref name="pakhomov_murphy_IEEE" /> This treatment is particularly associated with the range of 40–70 [[GHz]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Betskii, O.
