The University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) bioengineers have shown that a gel-like material containing tiny magnetic particles could be used to manage chronic pain from injury or disease. The study described that use of biochemical forces that push and pull on cells to treat disease. The study was published in Advanced Materials. Dino Di Carlo UCLA professor of bioengineering and the principal investigator of the study said Much of mainstream modern medicine centres on using pharmaceuticals to make chemical or molecular changes inside the body to treat disease. However recent breakthroughs in the control of forces at small scales
