A recent technological advance: magnetic nanoparticles. The particles are incredibly small, measuring only 50 nanometers in diameter. By comparison, a human hair is 75,000 nanometers in diameter. The new young cells were magnetized with the nanoparticles, loaded into a syringe and injected into the eye. Then, using an electromagnetic force on a patch held outside of the eye, the team pulled the cells into the middle of the eye, to the back of cornea. Later, the magnetic nanoparticles fell off the cells, exited the eye and were excreted in the patients’ urine.Sufferer due to Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.
