Download or read book Nanomagnetic Actuation of Cell Surface Receptors written by Jon Dobson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manipulation and control of cells and sub-cellular structures through magnetic nanoparticle-based actuation is a relatively new technique that has led to novel and exciting biomedical applications. Nanomagnetic actuation is being used in laboratory studies of stem cells to determine how these mechanical cues can be used to control stem cell differentiation for regenerative medicine applications. This book explores this rapidly expanding field. It will interest industry bioscientists and biomedical engineers as well as academics in cellular biomechanics, cell and tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.
