“…The use of nanotechnology in diagnostics but also in drug delivery and tissue engineering could significantly improve the treatment of patients with injured neuronal tissue [ 386 , 387 , 388 , 389 , 390 ]. Hence, IONP-labelling of stem cells or other cells, such as astrocytes and microglia can be used to track and monitor transplanted cells after implantation, e.g., by a noninvasive imaging modality such as MRI, magnetic particle imaging, positron emission tomography, and multiple photon microscopy [ 391 , 392 , 393 , 394 , 395 , 396 , 397 , 398 , 399 , 400 , 401 , 402 ]. Moreover, IONPs and IONP-loaded cells allow the delivery of therapeutic biomolecules, such as neurotrophic factors, drugs, proteins, DNA and siRNA by specific NP functionalization [ 403 , 404 , 405 , 406 , 407 ].…”
