CYTOTRON
The Cytotron® is a non-invasive whole body therapeutic device that is a breakthrough in tissue engineering.
The Cytotron® is a stand-alone device based on Rotational Field Quantum Magnetic Resonance (RFQMR) platform technology which enables whole body therapeutics called Quantum Magnetic Resonance Therapy (QMRT). QMRT is the Cytotron® device-mediated, innovative therapeutic modality for tissue Degeneration (for Cancer) and Regeneration (for human degenerative disease indications), currently in the clinical stage of development in the US. The Cytotron® operates at the safe end of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, and therapeutic signals are lower than microwave and cellphone frequencies.
RFQMR Technology in a nutshell
In 1987, the Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), initiated a project to study the effect of modulated radio frequency (RF) in the safe, unexplored frequency band of 30kHz to 300MHz
The high powered, rotational field, multi-frequency, high energy, spinning, quantum electromagnetic resonating beams can “engineer” tissues and modulate cell control
This novel treatment modality is registered as Quantum Magnetic Resonance Therapy (QMRT®)
Pain Relief & Palliation is integral to RFQMR platform technology and QMRT

The Cytotron® technology platform is very unique in that tissue regeneration or degeneration can happen by triggering inherent stem cell responses. Wound healing and tissue regeneration protocols do not require the use of an external source of stem cells, at the high costs associated with nascent stem cell therapies.
Tissue Degeneration - Cancer
On October 24th 2019, the Cytotron was granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the U.S. FDA for Breast, Liver, and Pancreatic Cancers. (LINK) Additional solid tumor indications of use and other life-limiting indications are being pursued in parallel.
The Cytotron® device delivers rotating, target-specific, modulated, safe Radio Frequencies in the presence of a pulsed, integrated, instantaneous magnetic field. The presumed modulation of the transmembrane potential of tumor cells and downstream cellular signaling by RF for tissue degeneration in cancer underlies Rotational Field Quantum Magnetic Resonance platform technology. Whole body MRI for tissue proton density determinations is used to compute individualized dosimetry to target solitary or multiple regions of interest in the whole body, simultaneously. Exposure to QMRT is for 1 hour daily for 28 consecutive days. Quality of Life assessments, overall survival and tumor stability endpoints have shown remarkable improvement over standard of care related treatment outcomes (see publication in a peer-reviewed journal in Resources).
Tissue Regeneration - Osteoarthritis & other Indications
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a pathology which causes severe and long-term pain along with physical disability.
It is characterized by a progressive destruction of articular cartilage accompanied by subchondral bone remodeling, osteophyte formation and synovial membrane inflammation
This disorder is classified as non-inflammatory arthritis and it is the most common form of arthritis affecting people of all ages, including children
So far, no pharmacological treatment exists targeting the mechanisms of OA
The underlying etiopathology of OA modulated by fast radio bursts (FRB) is detailed in a recent publication (see Resources)
The commonly used treatments principally target symptoms of OA but doesn’t prevent its progression
There is an unmet medical need for protecting cartilage degradation, decreasing joint pain and eventually healing joint inflammation as OA progresses from an acute to a chronic state
QMRT is able to re-grow cartilage in the joints, significantly reducing pain, increasing mobility, range of motion and functionality based on International Knee Society Scores and outcome reporting, post QMRT.
Clinically validated Indications of USE with the Cytotron® and QMRT are;
Musculo-skeletal (Osteoarthritis of all joints)
Musculo-skeletal degeneration (Spinal Dysplasia / Disc Prolapse or Herniated Disc Repair)
Wound & Burn healing (see Resources for image of post-traumatic multi-organ regeneration of one digit of the little toe- manuscript under preparation).
Trauma / Surgery - induced muscular weakness in extremities
Other Areas of Study
Pilot studies are also being conducted using non-invasive tissue engineering in multiple indications, at Shreis Scalene Sciences’ Technology Partner & Cytotron Inventor’s Scalene Center for Advanced Research and Development (S-CARD) in Bengaluru, India including Kidney failure, insulin-dependent diabetes and degenerative Lung Disease etc.
