Biomagnetic Materials: Spatial Control of Probiotic Bacteria in the Gastrointestinal Tract Assisted by Magnetic Particles (Adv. Mater. 17/2021)
Source abstract
Abstract
Bacterial agents engineered to diagnose or treat gastrointestinal (GI) diseases have limited ability to colonize specific regions of the GI tract. In article number 2007473, Mikhail G. Shapiro and co-workers show that a composite biomagnetic material comprising microscale magnetic particles and probiotic bacteria can be used, in conjunction with external magnets, to improve the bacterial agents' ability to localize and colonize inside the gut.
