Abstract The biological effects of high-gradient magnetic fields (HGMFs) have steadily gained the increased attention researchers from different disciplines, such as cell biology, therapy, targeted stem delivery and nanomedicine. We present a theoretical framework towards fundamental understanding HGMFs on intracellular processes, highlighting new directions for study living machinery: changing probability ion-channel on/off switching events by membrane magneto-mechanical stress, suppression...
Abstract Non-thermal plasma (NTP) has nonspecific antibacterial effects, and can be applied as an effective tool for the treatment of chronic wounds other skin pathologies. In this study we analysed effect NTP on healing full-thickness acute wound model in rats. We utilised a single jet system generating atmospheric pressure air plasma, with ion volume density 5 · 10 17 m −3 gas temperature 30–35 °C. The were exposed to three daily treatments 1 or 2 minutes evaluated 3, 7 14 days after...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a condition that results in significant mortality and morbidity. Treatment of SCI utilizing stem cell transplantation represents promising therapy. However, current conventional treatments are limited by inefficient delivery strategies cells into the injured tissue. In this study, we designed magnetic system used it to accumulate labelled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) at specific site lesion. The loading engineered SPIONs guarantees...
F-actin (filamentous actin) has been shown to be sensitive mechanical stimuli and play critical roles in cell attachment, migration, cancer metastasis, but there are very limited ways perturb dynamics with low toxicity. Magnetic field is a noninvasive reversible physical tool that can easily penetrate cells human bodies. Here, we show 0.1/0.4-T 4.2-Hz moderate-intensity low-frequency rotating magnetic field-induced electric could directly decrease formation vitro vivo, which results...
Magnetic field switches the frequency bands of calcium waves, thereby changing/closing enzyme activity and metabolic pathways.
The transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) is currently under study as a therapeutic approach for spinal cord injury, and the number transplanted that reach lesioned tissue one critical parameters. In this study, intrathecally labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were guided by magnetic field successfully targeted near lesion site in rat cord. Magnetic resonance imaging histological analysis revealed significant differences cell numbers distribution magnet...
Abstract Non-thermal plasma has been recognized as a promising tool across vast variety of biomedical applications, with the potential to create novel therapeutic methods. However, understanding molecular mechanisms behind non-thermal cellular effects remains significant challenge. In this study, we show how two types different plasmas induce cell death in mammalian cultures via formation multiple intracellular reactive oxygen/nitrogen species. Our results showed discrepancy superoxide...
Although 9.4 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been tested in healthy volunteers, its safety diabetic patients is unclear. Furthermore, the effects of high static fields (SMFs), especially gradient vs. uniform fields, have not investigated diabetics. Here, we consequences exposure to 1.0–9.4 SMFs different gradients (>10 T/m 0–10 T/m) on type 1 (T1D) and 2 (T2D) mice. We found that 14 h prolonged treatment (as as 55.5 (1.0–8.6 T) had negative T1D T2D mice, including spleen, hepatic,...
Non-thermal plasmas hold great promise for a variety of biomedical applications. To ensure safe clinical application plasma, rigorous analysis plasma-induced effects on cell functions is required. Yet mechanisms bacteria deactivation by non-thermal plasma remain largely unknown. We therefore analyzed the influence low-temperature atmospheric Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Using scanning electron microscopy, we demonstrate that both strains in minute were completely destroyed...
Studies have shown that 9.4 Tesla (9.4 T) high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has obvious advantages in improving image resolution and capacity, but their safety issues need to be further validated before clinical approval. Meanwhile, emerging experimental evidences show moderate high intensity Static Magnetic Fields (SMFs) some anti-cancer effects. We examined the effects of two opposite SMF directions on lung cancer bearing mice found when cell-bearing were treated with T SMFs for...
The interaction mechanisms between magnetic fields (MFs) and living systems, which remained hidden for more than a hundred years, continue to attract the attention of researchers from various disciplines: physics, biology, medicine, life sciences. Revealing these at cellular level would allow understand complex cell systems could help explain predict responses MFs, intervene in organisms' reactions MFs different strengths, directions, spatial distributions. We suggest several new physical MF...
Interactions between a micro-magnet array and living cells may guide the establishment of cell networks due to cellular response magnetic field. To manipulate mesenchymal stem free nanoparticles by high field gradient, we used quality micro-patterned NdFeB films around which stray field's value direction drastically change across body. Such arrays coated with parylene produce gradients that affect in two main ways: i) causing migration adherence covered surface ii) elongating directions...
A rigorous biochemical analysis of interactions between non-thermal plasmas (NTPs) and living cells has become an important research topic, due to recent developments in biomedical applications plasmas. Here, we decouple distinct cell death pathways targeted by chemically different NTPs. We show that helium NTP treatment, results necrosome formation necroptosis execution, whereas air leads mTOR activation autophagy inhibition, induces mTOR-related necrosis. On the contrary, ozone (abundant...
Interactions between magnetic fields (MFs) and living cells may stimulate a large variety of cellular responses to MF, while the underlying intracellular mechanisms still remain great puzzle. On fundamental level, MF — cell interaction is affected by two broken symmetries: (a) left-right (LR) asymmetry (b) chirality DNA molecules carrying electric charges subjected Lorentz force when moving in MF. Here we report on chirality-driven effect static (SMFs) synthesis. This newly discovered...
