| Popis: |
The majority of originally diamagnetic prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells can interact with a wide range of magnetic nano- and microparticles, molecular labels, or paramagnetic cations; alternatively, they can be entrapped in magnetic polymers and gels. The prepared magnetically responsive cells can usually maintain their viability and the presence of magnetic (nano)materials on their surfaces, in protoplasm or in intracellular organelles can provide additional functionalities. Magnetically modified cells can be easily separated from complex samples using magnetic separators, can be monitored in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging or heated during magnetic fluid hyperthermia. Available procedures for cells magnetic modification have been described in detail in this chapter. |
