Abstract

Overview

Recently, magnetic fields (MFs) have received significant attention due to their potential therapeutic applications and biological effects.

Findings

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the cellular and molecular impacts of MFs, focusing on both in vitro and in vivo studies. Key areas of investigation include:

  • How MFs influence cell behavior including gene expression, protein synthesis, and cellular signaling pathways.
  • Interaction of MFs with cellular components such as ion channels, membranes, and cytoskeleton.
  • Effects of MFs on cellular processes like proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
  • Insights into how MFs modulate oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, crucial in various pathological conditions.

Conclusion

The review explores the therapeutic potential of MFs in fields like regenerative medicine, cancer treatment, and neurodegenerative diseases, aiming to elucidate the complex bioeffects of MFs to optimize their application in medical and biotechnological fields.
