Researchers show in mice that transplanted muscle cells display improved engraftment in a magnetic field How can damaged cardiac tissue following a heart attack best be treated with replacement muscle cells? A team under the supervision of the University of Bonn is now presenting an innovative method on mice: Muscle replacement cells, which are to take over the function of the damaged tissue, are loaded with magnetic nanoparticles...
