BACKGROUND As a tomographic imaging technology, magnetic particle imaging (MPI) allows high spatial resolution and sensitivity, and the possibility to create real-time images by determining the spatial distribution of magnetic particles. To ensure a prospective biosafe application of UL-D (University of Luebeck-Dextran coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles), we evaluated the biocompatibility o...

A targeted drug delivery system is the need of the hour. Guiding magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with the help of an external magnetic field to its target is the principle behind the development of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as novel drug delivery vehicles. SPIONs are small synthetic γ-Fe₂O₃ (maghemite) or Fe₃O₄ (magnetite) particles with a core ranging between 10 nm ...

OBJECTIVE The label and detection of cells injected into target tissues is an area of focus for researchers. Iron oxide nanoparticles can be used to label cells as they have special characteristics. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of iron oxide nanoparticles on human-derived amniotic membrane stem cell (hAMCs) survival and to investigate the magnetic properties of these nano...

Background Immunotherapy of cancer is an emerging field with the potential to improve long-term survival. Thus far, adoptive transfer tumor-specific T cells represents effective treatment option for tumors hematological system such as lymphoma, leukemia or myeloma. However, in solid tumors, efficacy low owing immunosuppressive microenvironment, on-target/off-tumor toxicity, limited extravasatio...

in this work, we report synthesis of surface modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spion) by co-precipitation method using feso4.7h2o and fe2(so4)3.5h2o as precursors and trisodium citrate dihydrate as surfactant. surface modification of the as prepared samples was performed in pot by sol-gel precipitation method using tetraethoxysilane (teos). the structure, morphology, and magn...
