Comments Off on High impact research on biotechnology
The authors provide an overview of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), such as iron oxide and gadolinium nanoparticles, for use as contrast agents in MRI-based cell tracking and labeling. The minireview introduces SC research and how conventional MRI is used as a tool for tracking and labeling. However, the review’s main focus is discussing the recent developments in magnetic nanoparticle research, particularly detailing the efforts made by researchers in controlling the physical properties of the MNPs, such as size, shape, surface chemistry, etc, in order to produce more biocompatible and stable MNP contrast agents.
