Dendrimer-Functionalized Shell-crosslinked Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tumors**
Non-invasive diagnosis and detection of early-stage tumors is regarded as one of the current challenges in the biomedical sciences. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a powerful, non-invasive imaging technique because of its high spatial resolution and tomographic capabilities. However, the signal sensitivity of MR imaging for specific biological targets is largely dependent on the specificity ...
متن کاملLinker-free conjugation and specific cell targeting of antibody functionalized iron-oxide nanoparticles.
Specific targeting is a key step to realize the full potential of iron oxide nanoparticles in biomedical applications, especially tumor-associated diagnosis and therapy. Here, we developed anti-GD2 antibody conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles for highly efficient neuroblastoma cell targeting. The antibody conjugation was achieved through an easy, linker-free method based on catechol reactions. ...
متن کاملSophorolipids-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles.
Functional iron oxide nanoparticles (NP) have been synthesized in a one and a two-step method using a natural functional glycolipid belonging to the family of sophorolipids (SL). These compounds, whose open acidic form is highly suitable for nanoparticle stabilization, are readily obtained by a fermentation process of the yeast Candida bombicola (polymorph Starmerella bombicola) in large amount...
متن کاملCetuximab-conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles for cancer imaging and therapy
We have developed a theranostic nanoparticle, ie, cet-PEG-dexSPIONs, by conjugation of the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody, cetuximab, to dextran-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) via periodate oxidation. Approximately 31 antibody molecules were conjugated to each nanoparticle. Cet-PEG-dexSPIONs specifically bind to EGFR-expressing tumor...
متن کاملFunctionalized magnetic iron oxide/alginate core-shell nanoparticles for targeting hyperthermia
Hyperthermia is one of the promising treatments for cancer therapy. However, the development of a magnetic fluid agent that can selectively target a tumor and efficiently elevate temperature while exhibiting excellent biocompatibility still remains challenging. Here a new core-shell nanostructure consisting of inorganic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles as the core, organic alginate as the shell...
