The significance of findings concerning the magnetic-field dependence of cell proliferation, necrosis or apoptosis and cell volume or membrane fluidity is judged by comparing the results obtained in a solenoid, where a magnetic field can be added to the geomagnetic field, with those obtained in a magnetically shielded room, where the magnetic fields can be attenuated or null. This comparative criterion was particularly required when the differences found between the data provided by experimental samples and the data provided by control samples are small per se, as observed in estimating the magnetic-field dependence of expression of single genes or the magnetic-field dependence of total genome replication, transcription and translation. The report analyzes the magnetic-field dependence of the interactions between host animal cells and infecting bacteria and, in the framework of studies on the origin and adaptation of life on Earth, theoretical insights paving the way to elucidating the mechanisms of magnetic-field interactions with biosystems of different orders of organization are considered from the viewpoint of the "biological windows” thermodynamics. Thus, analogously to what is known for ionizing radiations, an inverse correlation emerged between the intensity of given magnetic fields and the biological complexity.
