A Platform for the Actuation of Magnetically Labeled Skeletal Muscle Cells Using Dynamic Magnetic Stimulation

Small, Volume 22, Issue 49, 1 September 2026.
A magnetic stimulation platform for the remote stimulation of cells is presented, consisting of a magnetic stimulator and magnetic microspheres. Skeletal muscle cells are labeled with magnetic microspheres, which act as local magnetic actuators on the cells upon application of the magnetic field.
