Surfactant-Driven Optimization of Iron-based Nanoparticle Synthesis: A Study on Magnetic Hyperthermia and Endothelial Cells Uptake

The Functional Materials group and the Stem Cell and Developmental Biology laboratory at TU Darmstadt (Prof. Dr. Ulrike A. Nuber) have jointly published an article in the journal Nanoscales Advanced.

The findings presented in this publication hold significant importance for the field of nanoscience, particularly in the areas of magnetic hyperthermia and biomedical applications. The research provides valuable insights into the optimization of magnetic hyperthermia performance by manipulating the surfactant composition in iron-based nanoparticles. Moreover, the investigation of cellular uptake by endothelial cells adds further relevance to the potential biomedical applications of these nanoparticles. By studying how magnetic nanoparticles are internalized by endothelial cells, the aim is to gain insights into this process within a relevant cellular environment that mimics interactions in living systems.
