NMR in vitro effects on proliferation, apoptosis, and viability of human chondrocytes and osteoblasts.
This study presents findings on the proliferation rate, cellular apoptosis, and viability of human chondrocyte and osteoblast cultures before and after treatment with NMR pulse sequences. A commercially available nuclear magnetic resonance machine (MBST(R)-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy) was used for treatment. The study was carried out for 19 days, including 9 days of NMR exposure in a controlled, double-blind, randomized manner, using commercially available human cell lines. The study revealed that NMR treatment did not induce apoptosis or inhibit cell viability, but revealed a tendency of an elevated cell proliferation rate as observed by cell count.
