Abstract:
An apparatus and method for accelerating and/or inhibiting the migration of cells by applying a time-varying magnetic field to induce eddy currents that promote electrotaxis (galvanotaxis) of cells without the need for chemokines or glucose. The present invention can also be used to study and quantify the metastatic potential of different cell lines.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for controlling cell migration comprising the steps of:\n providing an electromagnetic coil having a first end and a second end; connecting the electromagnetic coil to a function generator; applying a time-varying voltage waveform to the electromagnetic coil, wherein the time-varying voltage waveform has a sharp drop off at its trailing edge and wherein the induced electric field is a rapidly time-varying magnetic field; inducing a time-varying electric field around the electromagnetic coil; placing the electromagnetic coil adjacent to, and without contacting, the location of cells; hindering the migration of the cells using the induced electric field.
