Endocytosis induction by high-pulsed magnetic fields to overcome cell membrane barrier and improve chemotherapy efficiency

Cell membrane acts as a barrier to the entry of impermeable drugs into cells. Recent studies have suggested that using magnetic fields can enable molecules to overcome the cell membrane barrier. However, the mechanism of membrane permeabilization remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the increases in bleomycin (CT) uptake, a non-permanent chemotherapy agent, using high-pulsed magnetic fields and investigated whether endocytosis was involved...
