Florence Gazeau MSC Université Paris Diderot/CNRS, USPC, Paris, France Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are among the most promising nanomaterials in biomedicine mostly due to their unique magnetic properties but also to their biocompatibility and degradability. However, some questions remain on their long-term fate and biotransformation in the organism. How long will the nanoparticles keep their […]

Isabel Gessner, Shaista Ilyas, Eva Krakor, Laura Wortmann and Sanjay Mathur  Inorganic and Materials Chemistry University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany Chemical processing of functional ceramics has played a key role in converging disciplines, which is especially true for their bridge-building role in integrating the concepts of inorganic materials synthesis with biomedical applications. Out of a […]

Vittoria Raffa Università di Pisa, Department of Biology, Pisa, Italy Axonal growth is a complex mechanism and, recently, it has been elucidated that mechanical forces play an important role. The so-called „stretch-growth model“ has been proposed as an alternative to the more widely recognized „tip-growth model“. According to the „stretch-growth model“ elongation is induced by […]

Quentin A. Pankhurst Healthcare Biomagnetics Laboratory, University College London, London W1S 4BS ‘Healthcare Biomagnetics’ – the sensing, moving and heating of magnetic nanoparticles in vitro or in the human body – offers the potential for safe and convenient alternatives for many therapeutic and diagnostic applications. This is leading to the development of products such as […]
