magnetic stretch activation (nan actuation)

Question 1

What is nanomagnetic actuation?

Answer 1

Using nanoparticles to activate cellular processes

Question 2

What is stretch activation?

Answer 2

Using direct mechanical stimulation of a cell membrane to initiate cellular responses in human osteoblasts -inc changes in intracellular calc levels. Uses mag field gradient to stretch cell receptors via force on mag particles atached to integrin receptors.

Question 3

What is RGD?

Answer 3

Arg-Gly-Asp

Question 4

What were the magnetic particles attached to the integrin receptors on human osteoblasts coated in?

Answer 4

RGD

Question 5

What receptor on human osteoblasts were the mag nans attached to?

Answer 5

integrin
