Selective activation of mechanosensitive ion channels using magnetic particles.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface - 6 Aug 2008

Hughes Steven, McBain Stuart, Dobson Jon, El Haj Alicia J

Abstract excerpt

This study reports the preliminary development of a novel magnetic particle-based technique that permits the application of highly localized mechanical forces directly to specific regions of an ion-channel structure. We demonstrate that this approach can be used to directly and selectively activa...
