Renal clearable magnetic nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging and guided therapy

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non‐invasive, radiation‐free imaging technique widely used for disease detection and therapeutic evaluation due to its infinite penetration depth. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have unique magnetic and physicochemical properties, making them ideal as contrast agents for MRI. However, the in vivo toxicity of MNPs, resulting from metal ion leakage and long‐term accumulation in the reticuloendothelial system (RES), limits their clinical application. To overcome these challenges, there is considerable interest in the development of renal‐clearable MNPs that can be completely cleared through the kidney, reducing retention time and potential toxic risks. In this review, we provide an overview of recent advancements in the development of renal‐clearable MNPs for disease imaging and treatment. We discuss the factors influencing renal clearance, summarize the types of renal‐clearable MNPs, their synthesis methods, and biomedical applications. This review aims to offer comprehensive information for the design and clinical translation of renal‐clearable MNPs.This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing

Walking Dead Macrophage-Based Positive Enhancement MRI for Ultrahighly Efficient Diagnosis of Nephritis

“…For the pelvis, both the left and the right kidney SNRs with Gd-DOTA injection simultaneously increased to 53.4 and 52.5, respectively, while the SNR with Gd-RAW remained constant (Figure f,g). Consequently, the LRR of the pelvis was approximately 1.0 after injection with various CAs (Figure h), illustrating that the MRI signal was enhanced after Gd-DOTA injection, this was because the Gd-DOTA was filtered through the glomeruli and reabsorbed into the renal tubules to form urine, which was temporarily stored in the renal pelvis . Based on the above findings, two conclusions can be drawn.…”

Improvement of the Self-Controlled Hyperthermia Applications by Varying Gadolinium Doping in Lanthanum Strontium Manganite Nanoparticles

“…MNPs formulated in such a way have been cast nowadays as probable nanocarriers in drug transport [14,15]. The covering can shield the MNPs from oxidation and reduction that increase or decrease the magnetic properties contingent to the interface between the nanoparticle surface and ligands [16][17][18][19][20]. This mechanism is notable, especially considering the possible downsides of other MNPs that involve maghemite and magnetite that require unrestrained heating due to their high Curie temperature.…”
