Cell Separation and Manipulation by magnetic field in the presence of functionalised magnetic nanowires

Prina-Mello A., Diao Z., Coey J.M.D., CRANN Research Laboratory, IE

In this paper we investigate the possibility of using magnetic nanowires in cell separation and manipulation. Ni, Co/Cr and Co/Fe nanowires made by electrochemical deposition in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The combination between nanowires [...]

Static Magnetic Field Effects on Cells: A Possible Road to Cell Differentiation

Prina-Mello A., Campbell V., Coey J.M.D., Trinity College, IE

The use of higher uniform magnetic field intensity, such as those used in magnetic resonance imaging, is thought to exert little influence at the cellular level. There are several experimental studies that indicate that magnetic [...]

Effect of Microtopography and Cell Concentration on T Lymphoid Cell Migration during in vitro Extravasation Process

Prina-Mello A., Volkov Y., Prendergast P.J., Trinity College, IE

The locomotion of leukocyte cells has been proved to be influenced by microtopographical patterns with and without surface chemistry [Prina-Mello et al., 2003, Lo et al., 2000]. In this study, parallel grooves were microfabricated on [...]
