Synthesis, control and visualization of magnetic nanoparticles for tasks in theranostics
摘要
Magnetic iron oxide Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by laser ablation to obtain stabilized aqueous dispersions. Nanoparticle diameter varied over the range of 50–70 nm. A system based on electromagnets was used to position the nanoparticles in the central part of a joint in a laboratory animal in vivo, and this was demonstrated in three-dimensional X‑ray microtomography images. The resulting magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be used as agents for the mobilization, retention, and visualization of drugs in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
