Efficiency of cellular growth when creating small pockets of electric current along the walls of cells
2014
Abstract
Pulses up to 11 Tesla magnetic fields may generate pockets of currents along the walls of cellular material and may interfere with the overall ability of cell division. We used prokaryotic cells (Escherichia coli) and eukaryotic cells (murine fibroblast, embryonic stem cells) and exposed them to magnetic pulses of intensities ranging from 1 millitesla (mT) to 11,000mT.
We found prokaryotic cells to be more sensitive to magnetic field pulses than eukaryotic cells.
