I had completely forgot that Vysostkii and Kornilova had written a chapter in the latest edition of Biberian's Advances in Cold Fusion.

I found a very recent paper of other Russian team that quotes research of Vysostkii and Kornilova and proposes a way in which the transmutations could be explained, which involves the capacity of living organisms of creating an unusual, but known, state of Hydrogen...

Abstract: Background and Objective. It was previously shown that hydrogen atoms can be in unusual subatomic states with a “shell” localization of the electron-proton pair and a lower ionization potential. Such a state can be predicted in the proton-electron system in accordance with the de Broglie formula if we take into account the intrinsic energy of the quantum motion of the electron. During the formation of hydrogen subatoms, characteristic recombination radiation with a wavelength of 206 nm should be observed. The vital activity of biosystems contribute to the formation of hydrogensubatoms and they are necessary for their development. In this regard, it is possible to prove the existence of such radiation. Materials and Methods. Using a fiber-optic spectrometer, the ultraviolet radiation of indoor plants and the radiation of a yeast culture solution were measured. Results. It was experimentally shown that during photosynthesis in a number of houseplants, characteristic ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 206 nm is observed, the same characteristic radiation is also observed during metabolism in a yeast culture solu-tion. In this regard, irradiation with characteristic ultraviolet radiation of microorganisms should, apparently, lead to a suppression of metabolism, which is more effective than irradiation with a full spectrum. The idea of hydrogen subatoms, in our opinion, allows us to consistently explain the results of numerous experiments on the implemen-tation of controlled transmutation of isotopes in numerous growing microbiological objects.
