The article presents ligands as molecules or signals that latch onto receptors. The article claims that protein receptors on cell surfaces can change three-dimensional shape under the proposed magnetic-field mechanism. The article argues that a subtle external magnetic field can act analogously to a ligand by prompting receptor reconfiguration. The article describes Candice Pierce's work as explaining receptor shape changes and the need for fluid cell membranes.
