The effect of SMF exposure (290 mT, average flux density) on the cell properties. The cell cycle after 24 h of SMF exposure (a) and cell proliferation at different periods of time were analyzed, respectively in the DPCs culture with the basal or osteogenic medium (Dex/β-GP) (b). +, p < 0.05 (n = 3; compared with the difference between the basal and osteogenic medium culture in SMF-unexposed groups) *, p < 0.05 (n = 3; compared the difference between SMF-exposed and unexposed groups in basal medium or osteogenic medium culture) (Con) control, unexposed group; (SMF) static magnetic field; (d) days; (Basal) basal medium; (Dex/β-GP) dexamethasone/β-glycerophosphate
