Hafnium oxide nanoparticles: toward an in vitropredictive biological effect?

Hafnium oxide nanoparticles: toward an in vitro predictive biological effect?

BACKGROUND Hafnium oxide, NBTXR3 nanoparticles were designed for high dose energy deposition within cancer cells when exposed to ionizing radiation. The purpose of this study was to assess the possibility of predicting in vitro the biological effect of NBTXR3 nanoparticles when exposed to ionizing radiation. METHODS Cellular uptake of NBTXR3 nanoparticles was assessed in a panel of human canc...

Biological Synthesis of Copper/copper Oxide Nanoparticles

Metal nanoparticles have gained significant interest in the past decade because of their unique physio-chemical properties which has a potential to be used in a wide range of applications. Recent efforts have gained success in synthesising nanoparticles with excellent shape and size control; however they are largely restricted to chemical methods. There is an increasing focus on eco-friendly ‘g...

Organic functionalization of luminescent oxide nanoparticles toward their application as biological probes.

Luminescent inorganic nanoparticles are now widely studied for their applications as biological probes for in vitro or in vivo experiments. The functionalization of the particles is a key step toward these applications, since it determines the control of the coupling between the particles and the biological species of interest. This paper is devoted to the case of rare earth doped oxide nanopar...

Effect of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles Addition on Mechanical and Biological Properties of Calcium Phosphate Cement

In the present study, we have evaluated the effects of graphene oxide (GO) addition on the physical-mechanical-biological properties of calcium phosphate cement (CPC). The in vitro cellular responses of MG63 and in vivo tissue responses after the implantation of CPC/GO in parietal bone defects of   wistar rats were also investigated. The brushite calcium phosphate cements were prepared by mixi...
