NUS scientists harness magnetic pulses to reprogram immune cells to fight breast cancer
Key Takeaways
  • Ten-minute pulsed electromagnetic field exposures activated TRPC1 channels to convert M2-like TAMs to an M1 anti-tumour state.
  • PEMF treatment alone eradicated tumours in 75% of tested preclinical breast cancer models after four 30-minute sessions.
  • The PEMF device used completed a Phase 1 safety trial and the team is seeking partners for Phase 2 efficacy trials.
