Magnetic Exposure System To Stimulate Human Lymphocytes Proliferation

摘要

Magnetic stimulation (MS), a non-invasive technique to stimulate different kind of cells by a sinusoidal magnetic signal through a coil put on the scalp have been widely used in studies in clinical treatments on human. A modality of this MS technique to stimulate cell viability, proliferation and longevity, of human lymphocytes by using magnetic field is presented. AC magnetic stimulation was applied in a human range of audible frequency. A computer algorithm was implemented, which is combined with a power system to generate a cell magnetic stimulus via a coil variation. To generate and increase the stimulation, a ferromagnetic fluid is added on the cell culture medium, demonstrating, in this pilot study, that a sinusoidal magnetic signal applied on cell culture can increase cell longevity and produce proliferation without changes in cell viability.
