Effect of 6 mT SMF on phagocytosis depends on macrophage differentiation degree

Friday, December 3, 2010 - 13:00 in Health & Medicine

A paper from researchers of the University of Salento led by Luciana Dini offers evidence that the exposure to 6 mT SMF field affects removal of dying cells. They found that monocyte/macrophages differentiation degree is very important in driving cell response in presence of SMF during phagocytosis. This results can be used to design therapeutical exposure of patients to medical machinery producing moderate intensity SMF in order to avoid an inflammation or a chronic condition.
