Magnetic fields increase cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis via modulation of Ca 2+ influx
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Static magnetic fields with intensities starting from 6 gauss (6×10 −4 tesla, T) were found to decrease in an intensity‐dependent fashion, reaching a plateau at 6 × 10 −3 T, the extent of cell death by apoptosis induced by several agents in different human cell systems. This is not due to a change in the mode of cell death (i.e., to necrosis) or to a delay of the process itself; rather, the presence of...
