Abstract :
An in vitro study using the N1E-115 neuroblastoma cell line was performed to determine whether cell membrane damage occurs during magnetic stimulation. Trypan Blue stain and Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC) dextran uptake was used as an indicator of increased permeability. No acute effects were found.
