Magnetic triggers in biomedical applications – prospects for contact free cell sensing and guidance

Designated magnetic field design for magnetic drug guidance in BNCT

In this paper, a local magnetic field was designed and simulated using a Helmholtz coil along with a ferromagnetic core with an appropriate geometric Structure to concentrate a magnetic flux. This field can be used for magnetic guiding of Boron-borne drugs in BNCT.

Magnetic Particles for Biomedical Applications

This chapter discusses applications of magnetic materials in bioengineering and medicine [1–8]. Magnetism and magnetic materials have been used for many decades in many modern medical applications, and several new applications are being developed in part because of the availability of superior electromagnets, superconducting magnets and permanent magnets [9–12]. Advances in the synthesis and ch...

Dynamics analysis of microparticles in inertial microfluidics for biomedical applications

Inertial microfluidics-based devices have recently attracted much interest and attention due to their simple structure, high throughput, fast processing and low cost. They have been utilised in a wide range of applications in microtechnology, especially for sorting and separating microparticles. This novel class of microfluidics-based devices works based on intrinsic forces, which cause micropa...

Synthesis and study of structural and magnetic properties of superparamagnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 core/shell nanocomposite for biomedical applications

Objective(s): This paper describes coating of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) with amorphous silica shells.   Materials and Methods: First, magnetite (Fe3O4) NPs were synthesized by co-precipitation method and then treated with stabilizer molecule of trisodium citrate to enhance their dispersibility. Afterwards, coating with silica was carried out via a sol-gel approach in which the electrostati...
