Manipulation of magnetic carriers for drug delivery using pulsed-current high Tc superconductors

Reliable 4.8 T trapped magnetic fields in Gd–Ba–Cu–O bulk superconductors using pulsed field magnetization

“…Large, single-grain GdBCO-Ag samples [8] and uranium-doped and irradiated YBCO samples have been shown to exhibit maximum trapped fields exceeding 2 T at liquid nitrogen temperature [9]. Such a high flux density with a significant magnetic field gradient could be transformative for a number of promising applications [10], such as portable high-field magnets [11,12], NMR/MRI [13,14], magnetic drug delivery [15,16], superconducting rotating machines [17] and electromagnetic undulators [18].…”

Carboxymethyl-cellulose/Fe3O4 nanostructures for antimicrobial substances delivery

“…Among all the polysaccharides, CMC is easily available and very cheap. The use of magnetic carriers for delivering drugs and therapy to targeted areas was actively pursued for many years [9][10][11]. This technology allows concentrating drugs in the area of interest, simplifies drug administration procedures, reduces the quantity of drug required to reach therapeutic levels and decreases the concentration of the drug at non-target sites, thus increasing the therapeutic efficacy of the drug and reducing its systemic side-effects [12,13].…”
