Descrição
Resumo:Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), especially iron oxide nanoparticles, have attracted much attention in the last decades due to their remarkable physicochemical and magnetic properties. These properties coupled with their low toxicological effects, make MNPs ideal for biomedical applications1. In addition, chemical functionalization with specific biocompatible targeting molecules provides them with the ability to selectively attach to cells or tissues.
