Influence of Coating and Size of Magnetic Nanoparticles on Cellular Uptake for In Vitro MRI

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are suitable materials for contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Their potential clinical applications range from diagnosis to therapy and follow-up treatments. However, a deeper understanding of the interaction between IONPs, culture media and ce...
