New research on biomedicine from University of Leuven summarized
April 14th, 2009
According to recent research from Kortrijk, Belgium, "Iron oxide nanocrystals that are dextran coated ore widely exploited biomedically for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), hyperthermia cancer treatment and drug or gene delivery. In this study, the use of an alternative coating consisting of a phospholipid bilayer directly attached to the magnetite core is described." "The flexible nature of the magnetoliposome (ML) coat, together with the simple production procedure, allows rapid and easy modification of the coating, offering many exciting possibilities for the use of these particles in biomedical applications. Upon incubation of neutral MLs with an equimolar amount...
