Ex Vivo Test of New Stroke Treatment Using Magnetic Nanorobots
Steered t-PA Delivery for Thrombolysis Test Using Magnetic Swarming Nanorobots on Human Placenta as an ex Vivo Model of Human Cerebral Vascular System
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the FDA approved thrombolytic drug for patients with acute ischemic stroke. While transcatheter endovascular therapy is widely accepted as an effective method for targeted blood vessels via a catheter to elicit ischemic necrosis.
To improve targeting accuracy administrated tPA and avoiding collateral tissue damage, we developed a magnetic nanorobotic system to active system to active intravenous delivery of tPA for targeted thrombus removal. Here human placenta will be used as an ex vivo model for human cerebral vascular system in our ex vivo thrombolysis study. Our magnetic nanorobotic system encapsulated with tPA overcomes the limitations of passive thrombolytic therapy with tPA alone and will be a promising approach for the treatment of ischemic stroke and other thrombotic diseases
