LIPOSOME LOADED WITH MAGNETIC MICROPARTICLES FOR TARGETED DELIVERY OF STEM CELLS

摘要

Compositions and methods are provided for delivery of stem cells to a targeted tissue. A population of stem cells, including for example a regenerative stem cell population, is bound to magnetic vesicular particles. The magnetic vesicular particles comprise one or more magnetic nanoparticles within a lipid membrane, e.g. a liposomal structure. The cells are delivered to a targeted tissue by application of a magnetic field.
