Using magnetic nanotechnology to aid recovery from neurotrauma

纳米技术是一个令人兴奋的新领域，它有望解决具有挑战性的健康问题，包括与脑和脊髓损伤相关的神经创伤。目前神经创伤后给药和刺激组织修复的方法并不有效，迫切需要新的方法。最近成立的研究团队汇集了纳米技术和神经科学方面的专业知识，以开发新的、安全的方法来提供药物和刺激神经创伤后的组织修复，并提供高质量的研究培训。特别设计的纳米材料将随着时间的推移缓慢输送药物，并作为支架阻止细胞死亡，并刺激它们恢复断开的连接并重新工作。

Nanotechnology is an exciting new field that holds great promise to solve challenging health issues including neurotrauma associated with brain and spinal cord injury. Current methods to deliver drugs and stimulate tissue repair after neurotrauma do not work effectively and new approaches are urgently need. The recently established research team brings together expertise in nanotechnology and neuroscience to develop new, safe ways to deliver drugs and stimulate tissue repair after neurotrauma, and provide quality research training. Specifically designed nanomaterials will deliver drugs slowly over time and act as scaffolds to stop cells dying and stimulate them to restore broken connections and work again.
