Remote control healing: Next generation mechano-nano-therapeutics
Imagine if doctors could heal patients via remote control. Following simple injections into regions of the body, they could activate internal cells by an external bandage. In this way, they could remotely control the ways tissue heal. This Advanced grant sets out to understand, design and develop the mechano-nano-magnetic platform that will underpin this therapeutic strategy for the future – DYNACEUTICS. Key receptors have been identified such as ion channels, integrins and growth factors which respond to mechanical cues on the membrane and activate downstream pathways. How do we ‘bottle’ an agonist like a drug which can influence or regulate mechano-sensors on the membrane and can be…
