Schematic diagram of magnetic targeting of mesenchymal stromal cells. a In the first step, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are expanded in culture and magnetized with magnetic nanoparticles. b Once magnetized, the cells are injected into animals which are exposed to static magnetic fields generated by magnetic devices. c Magnetized MSCs are better retained in regions where the static magnetic field is present
