Fluorescent Superparamagnetic and Paramagnetic Agents for Bioimaging, Sensing and Cell Targeting

Nanocomposite materials are of great interest as a multipurpose instrument for various biomedical applications. In the presented work, we demonstrate the capability of fluorophore-modified nanoparticles based on iron oxides and oxyhydroxides crystallites to act as multimodal agents that combine specific recognition of target cells with properties of materials used for fluorescent bioimaging and MRI-contrasting.
