MANSE Proposal – Magnetobiology

  • Investigate the influence of static uniform magnetic fields

and field gradients on cellular growth and morphology.

  • Manipulate and stimulate cells in novel ways, especially

using ferromagnetic nanowires and pulsed magnetic fields.

MANSE Magnetobiology proposal concept: Living Cells + Magnetic materials + External Field = Manipulation, Stimulation and Sensing

AC field effect on pre-osteoblasts ?

Background

Literature suggests that low frequency magnetic field can affect osteoblast proliferation, differentiation and morphology

(Heermeier et al., Bioelectromagnetics, (1998),19:222-231).

Pulsed electromagnetic fields have been used clinically and are thought to enhance tissue regeneration (Shupak et al., Radio Science Bulletin, (2003), 307:9-34).

Objective

Understand if there is a scientific basis behind the fears concerning the carcinogenicity of 50/60 Hz AC electromagnetic fields, as suggested by some previous studies (Fedrowitz et al., Cancer Res, 62 (2002) 1356-1363; Zhu et al., Am. J. Epidemiol.,

158 (2003) 798-806).

In vitro cell stimulation with pulsed fields

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Important experimental tool in Neuroscience used in clinically for treatment and diagnosis of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease

Principle of work in neurons

Strong magnetic pulse produced by a flat coil induces a potential difference across the neurons membrane which triggers the neurons firing Objectives

To extend the first demonstration of in vitro magnetic stimulation of neurons reported recently by Rotem et al. (2008) To understand the physical and biochemical mechanisms involved in vitro

Conclusions, future plans

  • This work is developing valuable interdisciplinary relations within TCD

and beyond

  • Nanowires have potential for cell labelling and manipulation
  • Demonstration of toxicity based on geometrical size and shape, requiring

further examination

  • Parameters associated with bone cell development and carcinogenesis

not affected by weak AC fields

  • In-vitro pulsed-field stimulation is a new and currently understudied area,

which will be developed
