NUS researchers uncover new applications of magnetic field therapy in muscle and metabolic health
- July 24, 2025
Earth’s magnetic fields have protected and shaped the evolution of all living things on the planet over eons. They also serve as indispensable biological tools in some animals — from aiding bird navigation to influencing microscopic structures such as proteins within living organisms.
The secrets of how magnetic fields affect health in human and other living things are gradually being uncovered by iHealthtech Principal Investigator Associate Professor Alfredo Franco-Obregón. Using a technology he developed called pulsed electromagnetic fields (PMEF), his team has discovered that magnetic therapy using PMEF may enhance the overall health of early embryo development in eggs and influence the gut microbiome of animals and human.
