Nanoparticles are three-dimensional microscopic objects created from various materials and used in biology and medicine. For example, to influence the behavior of various living organisms, this was told socialbites.ca by a candidate of chemical sciences, the head of the laboratory of the National University of Science and Technology “Biomedical Nanomaterials” (MISiS). Department of Medical Nanobiotechnologies of the Russian National Research Medical University. NI Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Maxim Abakumov Pirogov.
This is called magnetomechanical control.
“The principle is based on the use of a magnetic nanoparticle. It can be done to physically transmit vibrations to the surrounding molecules, directing them to deformation or other effects. For example, there are studies in which such particles are introduced into the brain of mice and begin to change their behavior under the influence of the field. That is, as when heated (tumor – “socialbites.ca” note), – you also can’t make the cell somehow influence external influences. In this case, the mouse turned right or left depending on where the nanoparticle was injected,” explains Abakumov.
According to the biochemist, this approach is quite flexible in its applications. It not only kills the cell, but also returns it to the correct path of development. So you can treat hormonal abnormalities and neurodegenerative diseases.
