Scientists develop a new method to deliver particles into stem cells

Groundbreaking method poised to revolutionise regenerative medicine

10-May-2023

Key points from article :

Scientists at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University have developed a new method for delivering particles into stem cells.

The method uses coated nanoparticles to bypass the cells' protective barrier.

This could lead to more efficient stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine treatments.

The researchers are still optimising the method, but it is a major step forward.

They also found that stem cell membranes are more difficult to break than other cell types, which may be why they are so difficult to enter.

The stem cell delivery method research is published in the journal Nano Letters.
