Wireless magnetothermal entero-modulation
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders affect over 40% of the world population. Pharmacological agents that modulate cell function and subsequently impact processes involved in such disorders, suffer from limited spatiotemporal specificity and accompanying side effects. Despite the advances in the field of bioelectronic medicine which have enabled localized modulation of electrogenic cells, it still requires invasive hardware, impeding their use in soft and continuously moving organs. We recently showed that magnetic nanoparticles injected into a deep solid organ and exposed to alternating magnetic fields (AMFs), dissipate heat that can trigger localized calcium signaling mediated by endogenously…
