Magnetic nanoparticle decorated anodic alumina nanotubes for fluorescent detection of cathepsin B

Recent Advances in Nanoporous Anodic Alumina: Principles, Engineering, and Applications

“…Moreover, optimization of the technology allowed to yield even shorted nanotubes than before-424 nm in length on average. Their next work [165] involved decoration of nanotubes with maghemite superparamagnetic nanoparticles to yield magnetic nanotubes (MAANTs) combined with functionalization inside the nanotubes. The structural integrity preceding the separation was utilized to conduct the selective modification of inner walls with the padding of a protein functionalized with the fluorophore.…”

Light-Interacting iron-based nanomaterials for localized cancer detection and treatment

“…In addition to the fluorescent probes already described, which operate through a fluorescence dequenching mechanism, [22,23], and studies which are in line with or complement older works, [137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147], some recent papers in the field of FIBN have brought to light some remarkable innovations. First, radio-luminescent FIBN produce a luminescence intensity proportional to the x-ray dose at which they are exposed.…”

Current research trends of nanomedicines

“…Nanocarriers constructed by magnet-responsive materials can respond to magnetic triggers non-invasively under an external magnetic field 139 . Magnet-triggering could mediate targeted drug delivery and generate local hyperthermia for responsive drug release or PTT 140 . So far, various magnet-responsive NDDSs have been investigated, such as liposomes 141 , polymeric micelles 142 , polymer nanoparticles 143 , superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPIO) 144 , magnetic nanogels 145 , and magnetic nanoclusters 146 .…”
