With the growth of the quantum biology field, the study of magnetic field (MF) effects on biological processes and their potential therapeutic applications has attracted much attention. However, most biologists lack the experience needed to construct an MF exposure apparatus on their own, no consensus standard exists for exposure methods, and protocols for model organisms are sorely lacking. We aim to provide those interested in entering the field with the ability to investigate static MF effects in their own research.

The induction of retinal progenitor cell (RPC) proliferation is a strategy that holds promise for alleviating retinal degeneration. However, the mechanisms that can stimulate RPC proliferation during repair remain unclear. tailbud embryos successfully regrow functional eyes within 5 days after ablation, and this process requires increased RPC proliferation.
