Figure 5.

(a) Temperature variation in suspensions of control cells and cells incubated with MPIC micelles during exposure to an alternating magnetic field (755 kHz, 10.2 kA·m⁻¹). Viability of L929 (b) and U87 (c) cells determined by the MTS assay after 24 h of incubation with MPIC micelles G1@Fe₃O₄@PAA₂₇-b-PHEA₂₆₀ f = 0.5, with or without exposure to the high frequency alternating magnetic field. Cell viability is expressed as the mean value relatively to untreated cells (control 100%; probability p was calculated by the two tail Student’s t-test).
