Cancer is one of the most common diseases nowadays and derives from uncontrollable growth a single cell. Magnetic nanoparticles (NpMag) offer various possibilities for use in biomedical area, including drug delivery mediated by magnetic fields. In current study, we evaluated vitro effects iron-oxide conjugated with antitumor doxorubicin (Dox) on human breast cancer cells. Our results revealed that Dox (NpMag+Dox) induce cellular redox imbalance MCF-7 We also demonstrate functionalized...
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have great potential for biomedical applications as multipurpose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, and some systems already been approved by The United States Food Drug Administration clinical use. behavior, high saturation, fast synthesis are the major advantages of these nanomaterials. Polymer coatings often used to prevent cluster formation improve biocompatibility nanoparticles. In this work, we propose use chitosan (CS)...
In this paper structural, electric, magnetic, and Mössbauer spectroscopy studies were conducted in (x)BiFeO3–(1-x)BaTiO3, 0.9 ≥ x 0.3, solid solutions. X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement indicated the formation of single-phased materials crystallized a distorted perovskite structure with coexistence rhombohedral monoclinic symmetries. Room temperature ferroelectric hysteresis loops showed that electric polarization increases increase BaTiO3 content due to singular structural evolution...
Abstract A magnetically controlled elastically driven electroporation phenomenon, or magneto-elasto-electroporation (MEEP), is discovered while studying the interactions between core-shell magnetoelectric nanoparticles (CSMEN) and biological cells in presence of an a.c. magnetic field.

In this paper, the relationship between ferroic states and physicochemical mechanism which governs (Bi/Pb/La)–O bonds in polycrystalline La doped (0.6)BiFeO3–(0.4)PbTiO3 compounds were investigated. An abrupt change symmetries of perovskite-structured samples, from tetragonal (P4mm) to rhombohedral (R3c), occurs with increase concentration, highlighting diminishment hybridization (Bi/Pb)–O when is added into solid solution, emergence a characteristic morphotropic phase boundary tuned by...
Biomaterials that effectively act in biological systems, as treatment and healing of damaged or lost tissues, must be able to mimic the properties body's natural tissues its various aspects (chemical, physical, mechanical surface). These characteristics influence cell adhesion proliferation are crucial for success which a biomaterial will required. In this context, electrospinning process has gained prominence obtaining fibers micro- nanometric sizes from polymeric solutions aiming produce...
Chemically synthesized magnetite and poly(thiophene)-coated nanoparticles the correlations between their magnetic, structural, microstructural properties are investigated. A typical superparamagnetic behavior was observed for faceted nanoparticle agglomerates of nanocomposite. In nanocomposites, polymer layer causes a sharp decrease in spin disorder, which reduces anisotropy constant significantly. This happens because intimate contact poly(thiophene) leads to charge transfer from core via...
