Fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Synthesis and characterization of Bodipy functionalized magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for potential bioimaging applications

“…Nowadays multifunctional nanoparticles having magnetic and fluorescence properties are of considerable interest. Recent works on the magnetic-fluorescent nanostructures are promising for potential medical applications of such as imaging, bio-and chemo-sensing, drug delivery and therapy systems [17]. However, the problems such as the quenching of the fluorophore, the depletion of magnetization and the surface chemistry to cellular uptake are required to achieve for the further applications.…”

Self-organization of an optomagnetic CoFe2O4–ZnS nanocomposite: preparation and characterization

“…In particular, optomagnetic nanocomposites have attracted attention in recent years due to their multifunctional properties, thereby expanding their use in photocatalyis and biomedical application such as multimodal fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic separation and drug targeting [7][8][9]. More specifically, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) combined with QDs have been developed into specific functionalized luminescent magnetic nanocomposites (LMNs), which have the advantages of both MNPs and QDs [10][11][12].…”

In VitroPET/MRI Diagnosis and Targeted Chemotherapy for Cancer Using Radiolabeled Nanoprobe : A Theragnostic Approach

“…As prepared solution was incubated for 20 h at 37 C in shaking incubator under dark condition. 28 Then, the obtained mixture was thoroughly washed with PBS (pH 7.4) to eliminate the unreacted FITC and dispersed in 1 mL of cell culture medium (RPMI 1640). Cancer cells were placed in 8-well microscopy chamber with 1.0 × 10 4 cells per well and allowed to grow for 24 h. After incubation, the cells were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (200 μL) for 15 min, Then, the cells were again washed and incubated with FITC-conjugated (NF)HFCNP (200 μL) for 30 min.…”
