Stem Cells can be Directed Towards Injured Organs by Combining Antibodies, Iron Nanoparticles and Magnets

Antibody-studded iron nanoparticles were infused into the bloodstream to treat heart attack damage by researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute. The combined nanoparticle enabled precise localization of the body's own stem cells to the injured heart muscle. The study, which focused on laboratory rats, was published today in the online peer reviewed journal iNature Communications/i. The study addresses a central challenge in stem cell therapeutics: ...
