Functionalization of Magnetite (Fe3O4) Nanoparticles for Cancer Treatment

Herrera A.P., Rodríguez H.L., Torres-Lugo M., Rinaldi C., University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez, US

We have studied the synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles functionalized with crosslinked dextran for magnetocytolysis application using human colon cancer cells (CaCo-2). Size of the magnetite nanoparticles was determined by SQUID, XRD, and TEM measurements, [...]
