Static magnetic field inhibits TGF-β1-treated glioma cells. (A) Cellular morphological changes in U87 and U251 cells following treatment with TGF-β1, SMF, or the combination of both, observed under a 10× magnification using an inverted fluorescence microscope. (B) The static magnetic field increases cell apoptosis; after 72 h of TGF-β1 treatment, apoptosis decreases, but the combined treatment increases apoptosis. (C) The static magnetic field inhibits cell migration and invasion, whereas TGF-β1 enhances cell proliferation and invasion; combined treatment reduces cell migration and invasion. ns: p > 0.05; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001.
