Magnetic nanoparticles, MNPs, mineralized within a human ferritin protein cage, HFt, can
represent an appealing platform to realize smart therapeutic agents for cancer treatment by …

We show that the magnetism of core-shell nanoparticles (made of maghemite, γ-Fe 2 O 3,
cores and transition-metal and metal-oxide shells) is altered substantially by the interface …

The perspective of introducing plasmonic particles for applications in biomedical optics is
receiving much interest. However, their translation into clinical practices is delayed by …

Metals are intrinsically persistent in nature1 and play an integral role in the life processes of
living organisms. Heavy metals are elements having atomic weights between 63 and 200 …

We present an in-depth examination of the composition and magnetism of cobalt (Co 2+)-
doped iron-oxide nanoparticles encapsulated in Pyrococcus furiosus ferritin shells. We show …

This work deals with the preparation and physical-chemical characterization of new
ultrasmall iron oxide superparamagnetic nanoparticles (USPIONs) functionalized with …

Heavy metals pollution is a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems because some of these
metals are potentially toxic, even at very low concentrations. Contamination of heavy metals …

Continuous discharge of heavy metals into aquatic bodies poses toxic effects to biological
systems. Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles have recently been examined as promising …
