  • Title: Biological effects of magnetic fields generated with CoSm magnets.
    Author: Esformes I, Kummer FJ, Livelli TJ.
    Journal: Bull Hosp Jt Dis Orthop Inst; 1981; 41():81-7. PubMed ID: 6272917.
    Abstract:
    Experiments were conducted to determine whether any observable short-term biological effects were caused by a static magnetic field created with CoSm magnets similar to those used in the elbow prosthesis described on pages 69-80. Tissue culture studies of several cell lines showed no obvious effects on cell growth rate, morphology, or the ability to grow and remain confluent; and no deleterious effects of the magnetic field were evident as a result of an in-vivo study of wound and bone healing in rats. Long-term effects, if any, have yet to be determined.
