Abstract
This invention presents methods for targeting and killing types of cells or organisms using Magneto-Electric Nano-Particles under the control of an external magnetic field. A method was also presented for using Magneto-Electric Nano-Particles to stimulate or rejuvenate cells under an external magnetic field.
Claims22
A method for disrupting or killing bacteria or viruses comprising
- (i) coating, binding or conjugating Magneto-Electric Nano-Particles (MENPs) with a guiding agent that specifically binds to a targeted bacterium or virus to produce Guiding-Agent-Conjugated MENPs (GAC-MENPs);
- (ii) binding the targeted bacteria or viruses with the GAC-MENPs;
- and
- (iii) applying a magnetic field to the GAC-MENPs to generate an electric field for disrupting or killing the targeted bacteria or viruses.
