摘要: Purpose It has been proposed in the literature that Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) could be exploited to enhance or accelerate nerve regeneration and provide guidance for regenerating axons. MNPs create mechanical tension stimulates growth elongation of Particles suitable this purpose should possess (1) high saturation magnetization, (2) a negligible cytotoxic profile, (3) capacity magnetize mammalian cells. Unfortunately, materials currently available on market do not satisfy these criteria; therefore, work attempts overcome deficiencies.
