Thermally responsive lipid coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles for frequency triggered drug delivery

Patil-Sen Y., Eizadi Sharifabad M., Mercer T., Bond G., Patil-Sen Y., Sen T., University of Central Lancashire, UK

In this abstract, we report a series of novel thermally responsive lipid coated core-shell mesoporous silica-superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles for potential use for cancer therapy under magnetic hyperthermia. Hydrophilic anticancer drug [...]

Fabrication of stable bio-compatible mesoporous silica and core-shell silica-magnetite nanoparticles for potential application in drug delivery

Sharifabad M.E., Mercer T., Sen T., University of Central Lancashire, UK

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have become increasingly attractive materials in the field of Nano / Nano-biotechnology due to their potential applications in heteogeneious catalysis [1, 2], nanomedicine such as drug delivery [3, 4], cell [...]

Magnetoliposomes: Stability of Magnetic Nanoparticles in Suspension for drug delivery

Sen T., Sheppard S.J., Mercer T., Elhissi A., University of Central Lancashire, UK

A simple and rapid one pot method of synthesis of magneto-liposome has been reported. The nanoparticles exhibited exceptional stability in suspension. Magnetoliposomes were efficient for DNA binding/elution and drug loading.
