Biomedical Applications of Silica (SiO2) Nanoparticles

Biomedical applications of organically modified bioconjugated silica nanoparticles

Nanoparticles are one of the most important prominent areas in the field of nanotechnology, with a broad significant role in current life sciences and human healthcare applications. Among the nanoparticles silica nanoparticles are explored in many biological applications because their size dependent novel properties and functions differ drastically from those of the bulk materials. In biomedica...

Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Particles with diameters in the range of 2 to 100 nm, so-called nanocrystalline materials, have become a major interdisciplinary area of research during recent decades. In fact, since the seventeenth century, noble metallic nanomaterials, though not understood, have been obtained and used to give rise to a brilliant rose color throughout Europe in stained glass windows of cathedrals and by the ...

Biomedical Applications of Multiferroic Nanoparticles

Synthesis and Characterization of Hybrid Core-Shell Fe3O4/SiO2 Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

The creation of markers that provide both visual and quantitative information is of considerable importance for the mapping of tissue macrophages and other cells. We synthesized magnetic and magneto-fluorescent nanomarkers for the labeling of cells which can be detected with high sensitivity by the magnetic particle quantification (MPQ) technique. For stabilization under physiological condition...

Biomedical applications of inorganic nanoparticles

In the last two decades, a large number of nanoscale and nanostructure-based therapeutic and diagnostic agents have been developed, not only for cancer treatment but also for its prevention and diagnosis. Targeted cancer, hyperthermia, photodynamic and gene therapies are just some of the cancer treatments that use engineered nanomaterials. These therapies can be used in isolation or in combinat...
