Scientists from University of Bonn in Germany have designed a technique that allowsthem to repair damaged arteries’ tissue. The technique is based onsending genes and healthy cells through the bloodstream to the placethat needs to be repaired.


Earlier, the “problem” was that it was unknown what quantity of healthy cells tosend in order to repair the tissue. Small magnetic nanoparticles whichare situated on the planted gene or on the planted cell can with theaid of an external magnetic field be specifically directed to thelocation of the damage.


German researchers have discovered that the gene-based transfer is way moresuccessful than non-gene-based one. Magnetic nanoparticles can supportor even enable gene transfer under clinically relevant experimentalconditions.
