Remote and Selective Control of Astrocytes by Magnetomechanical Stimulation (Adv. Sci. 6/2022)
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Magnetomechanical Stimulation Magnetomechanical stimulation enables remote and selective control of brain cell activity without any need for genetic modification. Antibody-functionalized magnetic particles are targeted to the mechanosensitive astrocytes and a magnetic field is applied to activate signaling pathways that regulate a wide range of brain functions.
