Nanoparticles spur stem cells?

October 6, 2009

Nanoparticles may prove effective tools for improving stem cells therapy, new research suggests. Chemical engineers have successfully used nanoparticles to enhance stem cells’ ability to stimulate regeneration of damaged vascular tissue and reduce muscle degeneration in mice, they report in a study published online today (October 5) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
