The article of polytechnics about magnetic stem cells in the top of the most widely read publications of the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials
A scientific article published by scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University together with Russian and foreign co-authors was included in the top 5 most widely read publications of the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials (IF 5, 76). This is reported by Advanced Science News, the leading Internet portal of the international scientific publishing house Wiley.
The polytechnics are working on the development of magnetically controlled stem cells together with colleagues from St. Petersburg State Medical University named after I.P. Pavlov and Queen Mary University of London (Queen Mary University of London).
The article published by the research team on magnetic stem cells for genetic engineering became the most read and downloaded among the audience of the scientific journal Advanced Healthcare Materials in January of this year.
Scientists of the laboratory of new dosage forms of Tomsk Polytechnic University have received magnetic stem cells with low toxicity and stable enough for use in genetic engineering. The technologies developed by the research team will allow the management of mesenchymal stem cells inside the patient's body, which will allow for more effective treatment of oncological diseases.
In the published article, scientists have shown for the first time the possibility of stem cells to capture magnetic microcapsules to control the functional properties of cells and create magnetically controlled cell cultures.
The principle of the new technology is that magnetically controlled microcapsules with a drug loaded into them are inserted into the mesenchymal stem cells of the patient's body, the size of which is approximately 10 microns. With the help of a magnet, the stem cell is directed to a cancerous tumor; the microcontainer located inside it is destroyed and releases the drug. Thus, the drug hits exactly the target, hitting the cancer cells of the body and without causing harm to healthy ones.
It should be noted that the scientific team of the laboratory of new dosage forms of the RASA Center based on TPU this year published 10 scientific articles in highly rated journals with a high impact factor. The publications are devoted to technologies for creating effective methods of delivery of various medicinal compounds using the encapsulation method.
