Modulation of calcium signaling and metabolic pathways in endothelial cells with magnetic fields.

Calcium signaling plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including muscle contraction, cell division, and neurotransmitter release. Dysregulation of calcium levels and signaling has been linked to a range of pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Here, we propose a theoretical model that predicts the modulation of calcium ion channel activity and calcium signaling in the endothelium through the application of either a time-varying or static gradient magnetic field (MF).

Interaction of magnetic fields with biogenic magnetic nanoparticles on cell membranes: Physiological consequences for organisms in health and disease.

The interaction mechanisms between magnetic fields (MFs) and living systems, which remained hidden for more than a hundred years, continue to attract the attention of researchers from various disciplines: physics, biology, medicine, and life sciences. Revealing these mechanisms at the cellular level would allow to understand complex cell systems and could help to explain and predict cell responses to MFs, intervene in organisms' reactions to MFs of different strengths, directions, and spatial distributions. We suggest several new physical mechanisms of the MF impacts on endothelial and cancer cells by the MF interaction with chains of biogenic and non-biogenic magnetic nanoparticles on cell membranes.

Gradient Magnetic Field Accelerates Division of Nissle 1917.

Cell-cycle progression is regulated by numerous intricate endogenous mechanisms, among which intracellular forces and protein motors are central players. Although it seems unlikely that it is possible to speed up this molecular machinery by applying tiny external forces to the cell, we show that magnetic forcing of magnetosensitive bacteria reduces the duration of the mitotic phase. In such bacteria, the coupling of the cell cycle to the splitting of chains of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles (BMNs) provides a biological realization of such forcing.

Chain-Like Structures of Biogenic and Nonbiogenic Magnetic Nanoparticles in Vascular Tissues.

In this paper, slices of organs from various organisms (animals, plants, fungi) were investigated by using atomic force microscopy and magnetic force microscopy to identify common features of localization of both biogenic and nonbiogenic magnetic nanoparticles. It was revealed that both biogenic and nonbiogenic magnetic nanoparticles are localized in the form of chains of separate nanoparticles or chains of conglomerates of nanoparticles in the walls of the capillaries of animals and the walls of the conducting tissue of plants and fungi. Both biogenic and nonbiogenic magnetic nanoparticles are embedded as a part of the transport system in multicellular organisms.

SNPs associated with barley resistance to isolates of Pyrenophora teres f. teres.

Background: Net blotch caused by Pyrenophra teres f. teres is a major foliar disease of barley. Infection can result in significant yield losses of susceptible cultivars of up to 40%.

[Urgent cardiovascular conditions in dental practice].

Cardiovascular diseases rank first in disease patterns and their prevalence increases in most countrie, including Russian Federation. The paper presents guidelines for approaches prevention of urgent cardiovascular conditions and measures to provide first medical aid which will help avoid the negative effects in the acute clinical situations.

Physiological origin of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles in health and disease: from bacteria to humans.

The discovery of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles (BMNPs) in the human brain gives a strong impulse to study and understand their origin. Although knowledge of the subject is increasing continuously, much remains to be done for further development to help our society fight a number of pathologies related to BMNPs. This review provides an insight into the puzzle of the physiological origin of BMNPs in organisms of all three domains of life: prokaryotes, archaea, and eukaryotes, including humans.

[Magnetic dipole interaction of endogenous magnetic nanoparticles with magnetoliposomes for targeted drug delivery].

Dynamics of magnetoliposomes binding to the tumor cells and the efficiency of their recognition for targeted drug delivery is largely determined by physical interaction. In this paper we assess the strength of magnetic dipole interaction that occurs between endogenous magnetic nanoparticles in tumor cells and exogenous magnetic nanoparticles as a component of magnetoliposomes, and compare it with the forces of specific binding of the antigen-antibody complex. To assess the strength of magnetic dipole interaction the model of chains of identical particles was used, and an order of magnitude, 9(-10) N, was obtained.

[Intensification of extraction by yeast Saccharamyces cerevisiae 1968 of copper ions from a solution in magnetic field].

It was determined whether it is possible to intensify the biosorption of copper ions from a copper sulfate solution with yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1968 by introducing a metal headpiece into the solution and by applying an external magnetic field. The study was carried out in a magnetic field oriented both parallel and perpendicular to the axes of the rods (with parallel and perpendicular geometry of the system) that make up the headpiece. It was shown that the extent of intensification of the extraction of copper ions at different geometries of the system differs insignificantly and that the extraction of copper ions from the solution occurs by biosorption and cementation onto the metal headpiece.
