(Top) schematics of M059K glioblastoma multiforme/hydrogel heating apparatus (top) with hydrogel in Saran wrap on the solenoid then covered by the cancer cells present in the Petri dish. (Bottom) schematic of cancer cells in Petri dish and their response after exposure to gels heated in AMF. The smaller gels cause acute cell death at the center of the dish with a distinct interface where outer cells are unaffected.
