A comprehensive approach to characterize navigation instruments for magnetic guidance in biological systems.

ABSTRACT: Achieving non-invasive spatiotemporal control over cellular functions, tissue organization, and behavior is a desirable aim for advanced therapies. Magnetic fields, due to their negligible interaction with biological matter, are promising for in vitro and in vivo applications, even in deep tissues. Particularly, the remote manipulation of paramagnetic (including superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic, all with a positive magnetic susceptibility) entities through magnetic instruments has emerged as a promising approach across various biological contexts. However, variations in the properties and descriptions of these instruments have led to a lack of reproducibility and comparability among studies. This article addresses the need for standardizing the characterization of magnetic instruments,
