The transfection of multipotent neural precursor/stem cell transplant populations with magnetic nanoparticles (2010)
Journal Article
Pickard, M. R., Barraud, P., & Chari, D. M. (2011). The transfection of multipotent neural precursor/stem cell transplant populations with magnetic nanoparticles. Biomaterials, 32(9), 2274-2284. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2010.12.007

Multipotent neural precursor/stem cells (NPCs) are a major transplant population with key properties to promote repair in several neuropathological conditions. Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-based vector systems, in turn, offer a combination of key bene...

Magnetic Nanoparticle Labeling of Astrocytes Derived for Neural Transplantation (2010)
Journal Article
Pickard, M. R., Jenkins, S. I., Koller, C. J., Furness, D. N., & Chari, D. M. (2011). Magnetic Nanoparticle Labeling of Astrocytes Derived for Neural Transplantation. Tissue Engineering Part C: Methods, 17(1), 89-99. https://doi.org/10.1089/ten.tec.2010.0170

Astrocytes are a major transplant cell population to promote neural repair in a range of pathological conditions. In this context, the development of robust methods to label neural transplant populations (for subsequent detection and cell tracking in...

Enhancement of Magnetic Nanoparticle-Mediated Gene Transfer to Astrocytes by ‘Magnetofection‘: Effects of Static and Oscillating Fields (2010)
Journal Article
Pickard, M., & Chari, D. (2010). Enhancement of Magnetic Nanoparticle-Mediated Gene Transfer to Astrocytes by ‘Magnetofection‘: Effects of Static and Oscillating Fields. Nanomedicine, 5(2), 217-232. https://doi.org/10.2217/nnm.09.109

Aims: To assess the feasibility of using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to transfect astrocytes derived for transplantation and determine if transfection efficacy can be enhanced by static and oscillating magnetic fields. Methods: Astrocytes were tran... Read More about Enhancement of Magnetic Nanoparticle-Mediated Gene Transfer to Astrocytes by ‘Magnetofection‘: Effects of Static and Oscillating Fields.
