Magnetomechanical force: an emerging paradigm for therapeutic applications

Junlie Yao et al.

Summary: Mechanical forces have a significant impact on cell fate regulation, leading to the rapid development and popularization of mechanobiology. Magnetic fields in combination with intelligent materials featuring magnetic responsiveness have emerged as a spatially and time-controlled transducing paradigm to generate magnetomechanical forces and induce therapeutic effects. Recent advancements in magnetic materials and magnetic regulation systems provide opportunities for precise manipulation of magnetomechanical forces. Potential applications of magnetomechanical force, including drug controlled release, cancer therapy, and regenerative medicine, are highlighted in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the scientific limitations and directions for the further development of magnetomechanical force are discussed.

Heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate by Co-doped Fe2O3 nanospheres for degradation of p-hydroxybenzoic acid

Abdul Hannan Asif et al.

Summary: This study synthesized iron oxide nanospheres with different cobalt doping levels for the degradation of p-hydroxybenzoic acid using peroxymonosulfate. The catalyst with 3% cobalt doping showed the best performance, possibly due to larger specific surface area. The study confirmed the higher stability of the catalyst during the degradation process.

Minimum electric-field gradient coil design: Theoretical limits and practical guidelines

Peter B. Roemer et al.

Summary: Efficient calculation of induced electric field in simplified patient models allowed us to design gradient coils with minimum E-fields under constraints. Results showed that partially asymmetric solutions can balance E-field levels between shoulders and head, resulting in approximately 1.8 to 2.8 times reduction in E-field compared to symmetric designs.

Long-term behavioral effects observed in mice chronically exposed to static ultra-high magnetic fields

Ivan Tkac et al.

Summary: The study reveals that chronic exposure to a magnetic field as high as 16.4 T may impair the vestibular system in mice, leading to long-term changes in motor coordination and balance. Although findings in mice may not directly apply to humans, they highlight the necessity of investigating human safety in very high magnetic fields.
