(a) Diamagnetic ion channel in the cell membrane experiences magnetic fields from the ferritin particle and the externally applied magnetic field B, as well as the large magnetic field gradient from the ferritin particle. This results in the repulsive diamagnetic force on the ion channel and the cell membrane in (b) that is sufficient to potentially mechanically deform them and affect the ion channel function.
