a–c. The storage modulus (G’), loss modulus (G”), and tan δ (G”/G’) for IMBSs pastes. d Injectability of IMBSs pastes. e Curing time of IMBSs pastes. f Compressive strength of pre-cured IMBSs as analyzed using a tensile testing machine. g Hysteresis loops of pre-cured IMBSs subjected to AMF (20 A, 550 kHz). h Thermal images of IMBSs in a 24-well plate subjected to AMF (20 A, 550 kHz). i, j Heating curves of the pre-cured 5-MNP-BSG and 10-MNP-BSG samples under varying AFM, utilizing different currents of 10 A, 15 A, 20 A, and 25 A, while maintaining a constant magnetic field frequency of 550 kHz. k Schematic diagram and temperature threshold images of IMBSs in PBS (600 μL) utilizing a co-culture approach under an AMF (20 A, 550 kHz). l Cyclic heating profiles of pre-cured IMBSs for three on/off cycles under AMF, with an output current of 20 A and a constant frequency of 550 kH. Statistical data are presented as means ± SD, n = 3 independent experiments; statistical significance was determined using the one-way ANOVA method with Tukey’s multiple comparisons tests. Statistical significance was defined as *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001, whereas nsP > 0.05 was deemed not statistically significant.
