Additional information

The first demonstration that magnetic nanoparticles deployed with oscillating magnetofection technology enhance transfection in oligodendrocyte precursors [(OPs). We also demonstrated for the first time, that the protocols can deliver neurotherapeutic genes to OPs to support their regenerative potential. This work led to an EPSRC E-TERM Landscape fellowship for author Jenkins, held in the Chari laboratory (£200K, # R4504B276) for follow on studies, and won Best Abstract prize at a British Neuroscience Association meeting, Manchester, 2012. The fellowship involves collaboration with Keele spin-off company nanoTherics Ltd, to test a novel prototype magnetofection device (Contact CEO, Dr Carlton Jones, Tel: 01782 622112).
