Investigating the impacts of Static Magnetic Field on cell viability and Cell Cycle Progression in Human Mesenchymal Stem cells

The Mesenchymal Stem cells derived from human newborn cords were cultured and exposed to a 24mT Static magnetic field for 24 hours. The viability percentage and the cell cycle progression was then investigated in exposed samples and the obtained results was compared with the control samples. The results clearly demonstrated a significant reduction of cell viability due to the exposure of 24 hours of SMF and post-exposure cultures within the time frames of 36,48,60 hours. The cell development through the cell-cycle, also verified this finding, however, 72 hours of post-exposure culture, significantly leveled off the drop in viable stem cell rates.
