Abstract :
The authors examined the effect of a static magnetic field on the mitochondrial activities and locomotion of cells. Other phenomena were also examined. The cell locomotion (morphogenetic movement) and configurations were affected by the magnetic field, which seems to affect the intercellular signaling
