Mesenchymal stem cells proliferation and remote manipulation upon exposure to magnetic semiconductor nanoparticles.

In this paper, we report on spatial redistribution of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells loaded with magnetic nanoparticles under the influence of continuously applied magnetic field. Semiconductor nanoparticles were synthesized by epitaxial growth of a GaN thin layer on magnetic sacrificial core consisting of ZnFeO nanoparticles. Different quantities of nanoparticles were incubated with mesenchymal stem cells.
