Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) have garnered significant attention over the past twenty years, primarily due to their superparamagnetic properties. These properties allow the NPs to respond to external magnetic fields, making them particularly useful in various technological applications. One of the most fascinating aspects of Fe3O4 NPs is their ability to self-assemble into complex structures. Research over this period has focused heavily on how these nanoparticles can be organized into a variety of superstructures, classified by their dimensionality-namely one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) configurations. Despite a wealth of studies, the literature lacks a systematic review that synthesizes these findings. This review aims to fill that gap by providing a thorough overview of the recent progress made in the fabrication and organization of Fe3O4 NP assemblies via a bottom-up self-assembly approach. This methodology enables the controlled construction of assemblies at the nanoscale, which can lead to distinctive functionalities compared to their individual counterparts. Furthermore, the review explores the diverse applications stemming from these nanoparticle assemblies, particularly emphasizing their contributions to important areas such as imaging, drug delivery, and the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have garnered significant interest as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents due to their exceptional magnetic properties and biocompatibility. Toward more precise diagnosis of diseases, the relaxometric properties of IONPs have become a key research focus. Despite extensive studies on structural factors such as size, morphology, surface modification, crystalline phase, and aggregation state, the correlation between the intrinsic structure and relaxometric behavior remains unclear, particularly for ultrasmall IONPs. To address this issue, we carefully compared IONPs with identical size, shape, and surface modification and found out strong correlations among the content of Fe2+ ions, oxygen vacancies, and the relaxometric properties. By optimizing the reaction system, ultrasmall IONPs showing outstanding relaxometric performance, with longitudinal relaxivity up to 9.0 mM-1 s-1 and transverse relaxivity up to 28.5 mM-1 s-1, were successfully obtained. These results underscore the pivotal role of Fe2+ in the relaxometric properties of IONP-based MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has opened new doors of exploration, particularly in materials science and healthcare. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP), the tiny magnets, because of their various properties, have the potential to bring about radical changes in the field of medicine. The distinctive surface chemistry, nontoxicity, biocompatibility, and, in particular, the inducible magnetic moment of magnetic materials has attracted a great deal of interest in morphological structures from a variety of scientific domains. This review presents a concise overview of MNPs and their crucial properties and synthesis routes. It also aims to highlight the continuous synthesis methods available for MNP production. In recent years, the use of computational methods for understanding the behavior of nanoparticles has been on the rise. Thus, we also discuss the numerical models developed to understand how magnetic nanoparticles can be used in magnetic hyperthermia and targeting the Circle of Wilis. With the increasing use of MNPs in biomedical applications, it becomes necessary to understand the mechanisms of toxicity, which are elucidated in this review. The review focuses on the biomedical applications of MNPs in drug delivery, theranostics, and MRI contrasting agents. We anticipate that this article will broaden the perspective on magnetic nanoparticles and help to understand their functionality and applicability better.

Abstract
The synthesis of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) with size and shape tunability, which is also industrially scalable, remains challenging. Surface functionalization of the nanoparticles is yet another active research subject. Although a variety of inorganic and organometallic precursors have been tried, which are demanding in terms of both cost and effort, the use of iron hydroxide, a simple and cheap iron precursor, has not been explored in detail for the synthesis of SPIONs following a thermal decomposition route. Here, we outline a simple one-pot thermal decomposition route that avoids separate precursor preparation and purification steps and, consequently, is easily scalable. The method involves the alcoholic hydrolysis of a simple iron salt into iron hydroxide, which, on addition of oleic acid, forms the precursor oleate complex in situ, which is subsequently thermally decomposed to produce monodispersed SPIONS. Minor modifications allow for particle dimensions (5-20 nm) and morphology (spheroid or cuboid) to be controlled. Additionally, we explored a simple ligand exchange process for rendering the hydrophobic nanoparticles hydrophilic. Trisodium nitrilotriacetate (NTA), a readily available polycarboxylate, can efficiently transfer the oleate-coated SPIONs to water without the need for separation from the crude reaction mixture. X-ray Rietveld refinement showed that particles obtained by this method had both the magnetite and wustite phases of iron oxide present. Magnetic measurements confirm that the iron oxide particles are superparamagnetic at room temperature, with typical blocking temperatures of 183 K for the spherical and 212 K for the cuboid ones.

In addition, representative regulatory applications involving magnetic nanosystem-based TRPV1 and TRPV4 channel activation are highlighted, both at the cellular level and in animal models. Furthermore, perspectives on the further development of this magnetic stimulation mode are commented on, with emphasis on scientific limitations and possible directions for exploitation.

[PMID: 38855734 PMCID: PMC11162642 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s453601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to construct targeting drug-loading nanocomposites (FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes) to explore their potential in ovarian cancer therapy and molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MMRI). Methods FA-FePt-NPs were prepared by coupling folate (FA) with polyethylene-glycol (PEG)-coated ferroplatinum nanoparticles and characterized. Then cisplatin (DDP) was encapsulated in FA-FePt-NPs to synthesize FA-PEG-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes by thin film-ultrasonic method and high-speed stirring, of which MMRI potential, magnetothermal effect, and the other involved performance were analyzed. The therapeutic effect of FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes combined with magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) on ovarian cancer in vitro and in vivo was evaluated. The expression levels of Bax and epithelial-mesenchymal transition related proteins were detected. The biosafety was also preliminarily observed. Results The average diameter of FA-FePt-NPs was about 30 nm, FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes were about 70 nm in hydrated particle size, with drug slow-release and good cell-specific targeted uptake. In an alternating magnetic field (AMF), FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes could rapidly reach the ideal tumor hyperthermia temperature (42~44 °C). MRI scan showed that FA-FePt-NPs and FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes both could suppress the T2 signal, indicating a good potential for MMRI. The in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that FA-FePt/DDP-NPs in AMF could effectively inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, and inducing cancer cell apoptosis, much better than that of the other individual therapies; molecularly, E-cadherin and Bax proteins in ovarian cancer cells and tissues were significantly increased, while N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Bcl-2 proteins were inhibited, effectively inhibiting the malignant progression of ovarian cancer. In addition, no significant pathological injury and dysfunction was observed in major visceras. Conclusion We successfully synthesized FA-FePt/DDP nanoliposomes and confirmed their good thermochemotherapeutic effect in AMF and MMRI potential on ovarian cancer, with no obvious side effects, providing a favorable strategy of integrated targeting therapy and diagnosis for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
The following laboratory procedure provides students with hands-on experience in nanomaterial chemistry and characterization. This three-day protocol is easy to follow for undergraduates with basic chemistry or materials science backgrounds and is suitable for inclusion in upper-division courses in inorganic chemistry or materials science. Students use air-free chemistry procedures to synthesize and separate iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles and subsequently modify the nanoparticle surface by using a chemical stripping agent. The morphology and chemical composition of the nanoparticles are characterized using electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements. Additionally, magnetic characterization of the particles is performed using an inexpensive open-source (3D-printed) magnetophotometer. Possible modifications to the synthesis procedure, including the incorporation of dopants to modify the magnetic response and alternative characterization techniques, are discussed. The three-day synthesis, purification, and characterization laboratory will prepare students with crucial skills for advanced technology industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, nanomedicine, and green chemistry.

Abstract
The immobilization of metal ions on inorganic supports has garnered significant attention due to its wide range of applications. These immobilized metal ions serve as catalysts for chemical reactions and as probes for studying biological processes. In this study, we successfully prepared Fe3O4@SiO2@Mn-complex by immobilizing manganese onto the surface of magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles through a layer-by-layer assembly technique. The structure of these hybrid nanoparticles was characterized by various analytical techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Fe3O4@SiO2@Mn-complex was successfully utilized in the synthesis of biologically active 7-aryl[4,3-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-one derivatives in an aqueous medium, providing environmentally friendly conditions. The desired products were manufactured in high yields (81-95%) without the formation of side products. The heterogeneity of the solid nanocatalyst was assessed using a hot filtration test that confirmed minimal manganese leaching during the reaction. This procedure offers numerous advantages, including short reaction times, the use of a green solvent, the ability to reuse the catalyst without a significant decrease in catalytic activity, and easy separation of the catalyst using an external magnet. Furthermore, this approach aligns with environmental compatibility and sustainability standards.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging non-invasive tomographic technique based on the response of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to oscillating drive fields at the center of a static magnetic gradient. In contrast to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is driven by uniform magnetic fields and projects the anatomic information of the subjects, MPI directly tracks and quantifies MNPs in vivo without background signals. Moreover, it does not require radioactive tracers and has no limitations on imaging depth. This article first introduces the basic principles of MPI and important features of MNPs for imaging sensitivity, spatial resolution, and targeted biodistribution. The latest research aiming to optimize the performance of MPI tracers is reviewed based on their material composition, physical properties, and surface modifications. While the unique advantages of MPI have led to a series of promising biomedical applications, recent development of MPI in investigating vascular abnormalities in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, and cancer are also discussed. Finally, recent progress and challenges in the clinical translation of MPI are discussed to provide possible directions for future research and development.

Abstract
Environmental problems caused by mercury ions are increasing due to growing industrialization, poor enforcement, and inefficient pollutant treatment. Therefore, detecting and removing mercury from the ecological chain is of utmost significance. Currently, a wide range of small molecules and nanomaterials have made remarkable progress in the detection, detoxification, adsorption, and removal of mercury. In this review, we summarized the recent advances in the design and construction of multifunctional materials, detailed their sensing and removing mechanisms, and discussed with emphasis the advantages and disadvantages of different types of sensors. Finally, we elucidated the problems and challenges of current multifunctional materials and further pointed out the direction for the future development of related materials. This review is expected to provide a guideline for researchers to establish a robust strategy for the detection and removal of mercury ionsin the environment.

Abstract
As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials. Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials with unconventional crystal phases, which rarely exist in their bulk counterparts, or amorphous phase have been prepared using carefully controlled reaction conditions. Together these methods are beginning to enable phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN), i.e., the synthesis of nanomaterials with unconventional phases and the transformation between different phases, to obtain desired properties and functions. This Review summarizes the research progress in the field of PEN. First, we present representative strategies for the direct synthesis of unconventional phases and modulation of phase transformation in diverse kinds of nanomaterials. We cover the synthesis of nanomaterials ranging from metal nanostructures such as Au, Ag, Cu, Pd, and Ru, and their alloys; metal oxides, borides, and carbides; to transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and 2D layered materials. We review synthesis and growth methods ranging from wet-chemical reduction and seed-mediated epitaxial growth to chemical vapor deposition (CVD), high pressure phase transformation, and electron and ion-beam irradiation. After that, we summarize the significant influence of phase on the various properties of unconventional-phase nanomaterials. We also discuss the potential applications of the developed unconventional-phase nanomaterials in different areas including catalysis, electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), solar cells, optoelectronics, and sensing. Finally, we discuss existing challenges and future research directions in PEN.

Abstract
Technetium (Tc), atomic number 43, is an element that humans cannot freely use even in the 21st century because Tc is radioactive and has no stable isotope. In this report, we present molybdenum-ruthenium-carbon solid-solution alloy (MoxRu1-xCy) nanoparticles (NPs) that are expected to have an electronic structure similar to that of technetium carbide (TcCy). MoxRu1-xCy NPs were synthesized by annealing under a helium/hydrogen atmosphere following thermal decomposition of metal precursors. The obtained NPs had a solid-solution structure in the whole composition range. MoxRu1-xCy with a cubic structure (down to 30 atom % Mo in the metal ratio) showed a superconducting state, and the transition temperature (Tc) increased with increasing Mo composition. The continuous change in Tc across that of TcCy indicates the continuous control of the electronic structure by solid-solution alloying, leading to pseudo-TcCy. Density functional theory calculations indicated that the synthesized Mo0.53Ru0.47C0.41 has a similar electronic structure to TcC0.41.

Abstract
The process of arranging magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into long-range structures that can be dynamically and reversibly controlled is challenging, although interesting for emerging spintronic applications. Here, we report composites of MNPs in excess of LC-like ligands as promising materials for MNP-based technologies. The organic part ensures the assembly of MNP into long-range ordered phases as well as precise and temperature-reversible control over the arrangement. The dynamic changes are fully reversible, which we confirm using X-ray diffraction (XRD). This methodology allows for the precise control of the nanomaterial's structure in a thin film at different temperatures, translating to variable unit cell parameters. The composition of the materials (XPS, TGA), their structure (XRD), and magnetic properties (SQUID) were performed. Overall, this study confirms that LC-like materials provide the ability to dynamically control the magnetic nanoparticles in thin films, particularly the reversible control of their self-organization.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles are a prospective class of materials for use in biomedicine as agents for magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) and hyperthermia treatment. However, synthesis of nanoparticles with high efficacy is resource-intensive experimental work. In turn, the use of machine learning (ML) methods is becoming useful in materials design and serves as a great approach to designing nanomagnets for biomedicine. In this work, for the first time, an ML-based approach is developed for the prediction of main parameters of material efficacy, i.e., specific absorption rate (SAR) for hyperthermia and r1 /r2 relaxivities in MRI, with parameters of nanoparticles as well as experimental conditions as descriptors. For that, a unique database with more than 980 magnetic nanoparticles collected from scientific articles is assembled. Using this data, several tree-based ensemble models are trained to predict SAR, r1 and r2 relaxivity. After hyperparameter optimization, models reach performances of R2 = 0.86, R2 = 0.78, and R2 = 0.75, respectively. Testing the models on samples unseen during the training shows no performance drops. Finally, DiMag, an open access resource created to guide synthesis of novel nanosized magnets for MRI and hyperthermia treatment with machine learning and boost development of new biomedical agents, is developed.

Abstract
Using photons to drive chemical reactions has become an increasingly important field of chemistry. Plasmonic materials can provide a means to introduce the energy necessary for nucleation and growth of nanoparticles by efficiently converting visible and infrared light to heat. Moreover, the formation of crystalline nanoparticles has yet to be included in the extensive list of plasmonic photothermal processes. Herein, we establish a light-assisted colloidal synthesis of iron oxide, silver, and palladium nanoparticles by utilizing silica-encapsulated gold bipyramids as plasmonic heat sources. Our work shows that the silica surface chemistry and localized thermal hotspot generated by the plasmonic nanoparticles play crucial roles in the formation mechanism, enabling nucleation and growth at temperatures considerably lower than conventional heating. Additionally, the photothermal method is extended to anisotropic geometries and can be applied to obtain intricate assemblies inaccessible otherwise. This study enables photothermally heated nanoparticle synthesis in solution through the plasmonic effect and demonstrates the potential of this methodology.

Abstract
The wide accessibility to nanostructures with high uniformity and controllable sizes and morphologies provides great opportunities for creating complex superstructures with unique functionalities. Employing anisotropic nanostructures as the building blocks significantly enriches the superstructural phases, while their orientational control for obtaining long-range orders has remained a significant challenge. One solution is to introduce magnetic components into the anisotropic nanostructures to enable precise control of their orientations and positions in the superstructures by manipulating magnetic interactions. Recognizing the importance of magnetic anisotropy in colloidal assembly, we provide here an overview of magnetic field-guided self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles with typical anisotropic shapes, including rods, cubes, plates, and peanuts. The Review starts with discussing the magnetic energy of nanoparticles, appreciating the vital roles of magneto-crystalline and shape anisotropies in determining the easy magnetization direction of the anisotropic nanostructures. It then introduces superstructures assembled from various magnetic building blocks and summarizes their unique properties and intriguing applications. It concludes with a discussion of remaining challenges and an outlook of future research opportunities that the magnetic assembly strategy may offer for colloidal assembly.

Abstract
Herein, a new heterogeneous catalytic system through modification of urea functionalized magnetic nanoparticles with choline chloride [Fe3O4@SiO2@urea-riched ligand/Ch-Cl] was designed and synthesized. Then, the synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2@urea-riched ligand/Ch-Cl was characterized by using FT-IR spectroscopy, FESEM, TEM, EDS-Mapping, TGA/DTG and VSM techniques. After that, the catalytic usage of Fe3O4@SiO2@urea-riched ligand/Ch-Cl was investigated for the synthesis of hybrid pyridines with sulfonate and/or indole moieties. Delightfully, the outcome was satisfactory and the applied strategy represents several advantages such as short reaction times, convenience of operation and relatively good yields of obtained products. Moreover, the catalytic behavior of several formal homogeneous DESs was investigated for the synthesis of target product. In addition, a cooperative vinylogous anomeric-based oxidation pathway was suggested as rational mechanism for the synthesis of new hybrid pyridines.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been developed as contrast agents for T1- or T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on account of their excellent physicochemical and biological properties. However, general strategies to improve longitudinal relaxivity (r1) often decrease transverse relaxivity (r2), thus synchronously strengthening the T1 and T2 enhancement effect of IONPs remains a challenge. Here, we report interface regulation and size tailoring of a group of FePt@Fe3O4 core-shell nanoparticles (NPs), which possess high r1 and r2 relaxivities. The increase of r1 and r2 is due to the enhancement of the saturation magnetization (Ms), which is a result of the strengthened exchange coupling across the core-shell interface. In vivo subcutaneous tumor study and brain glioma imaging revealed that FePt@Fe3O4 NPs can serve as a favorable T1-T2 dual-modal contrast agent. We envision that the core-shell NPs, through interface engineering, have great potential in preclinical and clinical MRI applications.

Abstract
ConspectusFunctional nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied extensively in the past decades for their unique nanoscale properties and their promising applications in advanced nanosciences and nanotechnologies. One critical component of studying these NPs is to prepare monodisperse NPs so that their physical and chemical properties can be tuned and optimized. Solution phase reactions have provided the most reliable processes for fabricating such monodisperse NPs in which metal-ligand interactions play essential roles in the synthetic controls. These interactions are also key to stabilizing the preformed NPs for them to show the desired electronic, magnetic, photonic, and catalytic properties. In this Account, we summarize some representative organic bipolar ligands that have recently been explored to control NP formation and NP functions. These include aliphatic acids, alkylphosphonic acids, alkylamines, alkylphosphines, and alkylthiols. This ligand group covers metal-ligand interactions via covalent, coordination, and electrostatic bonds that are most commonly employed to control NP sizes, compositions, shapes, and properties. The metal-ligand bonding effects on NP nucleation rate and growth can now be more thoroughly investigated by in situ spectroscopic and theoretical studies. In general, to obtain the desired NP size and monodispersity requires rational control of the metal/ligand ratios, concentrations, and reaction temperatures in the synthetic solutions. In addition, for multicomponent NPs, the binding strength of ligands to various metal surfaces needs to be considered in order to prepare these NPs with predesigned compositions. The selective ligand binding onto certain facets of NPs is also key to anisotropic growth of NPs, as demonstrated in the synthesis of one-dimensional nanorods and nanowires. The effects of metal-ligand interactions on NP functions are discussed in two aspects, electrochemical catalysis for CO2 reduction and electronic transport across NP assemblies. We first highlight recent advances in using surface ligands to promote the electrochemical reduction of CO2. Several mechanisms are discussed, including the modification of the catalyst surface environment, electron transfer through the metal-organic interface, and stabilization of the CO2 reduction intermediates, all of which facilitate selective CO2 reduction. These strategies lead to better understanding of molecular level control of catalysis for further catalyst optimization. Metal-ligand interaction in magnetic NPs can also be used to control tunneling magnetoresistance properties across NPs in NP assemblies by tuning NP interparticle spacing and surface spin polarization. In all, metal-ligand interactions have yielded particularly promising directions for tuning CO2 reduction selectivity and for optimizing nanoelectronics, and the concepts can certainly be extended to rationalize NP engineering at atomic/molecular precision for the fabrication of sensitive functional devices that will be critical for many nanotechnological applications.

Abstract
Creation of architectures with exquisite hierarchies actuates the germination of revolutionized functions and applications across a wide range of fields. Hierarchical self-assembly of colloidal particles holds the promise for materialized realization of structural programing and customizing. This review outlines the general approaches to organize atom-like micro- and nanoparticles into prescribed colloidal analogs of molecules by exploiting diverse interparticle driving motifs involving confining templates, interactive surface ligands, and flexible shape/surface anisotropy. Furthermore, the self-regulated/adaptive co-assembly of simple unvarnished building blocks is discussed to inspire new designs of colloidal assembly strategies.

Abstract
The recent emergence of human coronaviruses (CoVs) causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is posing a great threat to global public health. Therefore, the rapid and accurate identification of pathogenic viruses plays a vital role in selecting appropriate treatments, saving people's lives and preventing epidemics. Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic information. Applications of nucleic acid detection range from genotyping and genetic prognostics, to expression profiling and detection of infectious disease. The nucleic acid detection for infectious diseases is widely used, as evidenced by the widespread use of COVID-19 tests for the containment of the pandemic. Nanotechnology influences all medical disciplines and has been considered as an essential tool for novel diagnostics, nanotherapeutics, vaccines, medical imaging, and the utilization of biomaterials for regenerative medicine. In this review, the recent advances in the development of nanotechnology-based diagnostic methods for coronavirus, and their applications in nucleic acid detection are discussed in detail. The techniques for the amplification of nucleic acids are summarized, as well as the use of magnetic nanoparticles for nucleic acid extraction. Besides, current challenges and future prospects are proposed, along with the great potential of nanotechnology for the effective diagnosis of coronavirus.

Abstract
Fe1.1Mn1.9O4 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using a combustion method. The influence of the heating temperature on the evolution of the structural and magnetic properties has been studied using various methods. The structural analysis results revealed that as-synthesized nanoparticles have a tetragonal structure with an average size of ~24 nm. The magnetic measurements of the sample showed its ferrimagnetic nature at room temperature with hysteresis at low fields. Temperature-dependent magnetization measurements allowed for the conclusion that the Curie temperature for Fe1.1Mn1.9O4 nanoparticles was ~465 °C. After high-temperature magnetic measurements, during which the samples were heated to various maximum heating temperatures (Tmax.heat.) in the range from 500 to 900 °C, it was found that the structure of the samples after cooling to room temperature depended on the heating temperature. Herewith, when the heating temperature was 600 < Tmax.heat. < 700 °C, an irreversible structural phase transition occurred, and the cooled samples retained a high-temperature cubic structure. The results of the magnetic analysis showed that the samples, following high-temperature magnetic measurements, demonstrated ferrimagnetic behavior.

Abstract
PURPOSE Individual imaging modalities have certain advantages, but each suffers from drawbacks that other modalities may overcome. The goal of this study was to create a novel contrast agent suitable for various imaging modalities that after a single administration can bridge and strengthen the collaboration between the research fields as well as enrich the information obtained from any one modality. PROCEDURES The contrast agent platform is based on dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (for MRI and MPI) and synthesized using a modified co-precipitation method, followed by a series of conjugation steps with a fluorophore (for fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging), thyroxine (for CT imaging), and chelators for radioisotope labeling (for PET imaging). The fully conjugated agent was then tested in vitro in cell uptake, viability, and phantom studies and in vivo in a model of intraductal injection and in a tumor model. RESULTS The agent was synthesized, characterized, and tested in vitro where it showed the ability to produce a signal on MRI/MPI/FL/PA/CT and PET images. Studies in cells showed the expected concentration-dependent uptake of the agent without noticeable toxicity. In vivo studies demonstrated localization of the agent to the ductal tree in mice after intraductal injection with different degrees of resolution, with CT being the best for this particular application. In a model of injected labeled tumor cells, the agent produced a signal with all modalities and showed persistence in tumor cells confirmed by histology. CONCLUSIONS A fully functional omniparticle contrast agent was synthesized and tested in vitro and in vivo in two animal models. Results shown here point to the generation of a potent signal in all modalities tested without detrimental toxicity. Future use of this agent includes its exploration in various models of human disease including image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most investigated nanomaterials so far and modern synthesis methods currently provide an exceptional control of their size, shape, crystallinity and surface functionalization. These advances have enabled their use in different fields ranging from environmental applications to biomedicine. However, several studies have shown that the precise composition and crystal structure of magnetite NPs depend on their redox phase transformations, which have a profound impact on their physicochemical properties and, ultimately, on their technological applications. Although the physical mechanisms behind such chemical transformations in bulk materials have been known for a long time, experiments on NPs with large surface-to-volume ratios have revealed intriguing results. This article is focused on reviewing the current status of the field. Following an introduction on the fundamental properties of magnetite and other related iron oxides (including maghemite and wüstite), some basic concepts on the chemical routes to prepare iron oxide nanomaterials are presented. The key experimental techniques available to study phase transformations in iron oxides, their advantages and drawbacks to the study of nanomaterials are then discussed. The major section of this work is devoted to the topotactic oxidation of magnetite NPs and, in this regard, the cation diffusion model that accounts for the experimental results on the kinetics of the process is critically examined. Since many synthesis routes rely on the formation of monodisperse magnetite NPs via oxidation of wüstite counterparts, the modulation of their physical properties by crystal defects arising from the oxidation process is also described. Finally, the importance of a precise control of the composition and structure of magnetite-based NPs is discussed and its role in their biomedical applications is highlighted.

Abstract
In this study, Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (SPMNPs) are used in a new way as direct nanocarrier for Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) via the functionalization of their surface with tri-sodium citrate through ligand exchange to conjugate DOX with imine bond to form tri-sodium citrate functionalized magnetite loaded DOX nanoparticles (DOX/Cit-MNPs). The DOX/Cit-MNPs were coated with chitosan to form chitosan coated citrate functionalized magnetite loaded DOX nanoparticles (Cs/DOX/Cit-MNPs) to offer biodegradability and pH-sensitive drug release features. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed functionalization of SPMNPs, DOX-conjugation, and chitosan coating. The trans electron microscopy (TEM) show spherical nanostructures with average size 40 nm for coated nanocarriers. The saturation magnetization value of carrier was 59 emu/g.The in-vitro release of DOX from the chitosan coated tri-sodium citrate functionalized magnetite loaded DOX nanoparticles (Cs/DOX/Cit-MNPs) was studied to be 75% at pH 5.5 and 28.6% at pH 7.4 which proves the pH sensitivity of encapsulated Cs/DOX/Cit-MNPs. The effect of Cs/DOX/Cit-MNPs toward Human Breast Cancer Cell lines (MCF7) was studied and found to be 76% without magnet and 98% with external magnet after 72 h. With increasing DOX concentration and treatment time, the cell inhibition (IR%) of DOX solution and Cs/DOX-Cit-MNPs suspension to all cells is increased. Cs/DOX/Cit-MNPs showed sustained release and good inhibition to cancer cells and offer a protective mode for normal cells (WISH) compared to the free DOX.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma remains a worldwide concern due to the poor effectiveness of available therapies in the clinic. Therefore, it is necessary to find a safe and effective therapy to realize the complete resection of osteosarcoma and reconstruction of the bone defect. Magnetic hyperthermia based on magnetic nanoparticles can kill tumor cells by raising the temperature without causing the side effects of conventional cancer treatments. This research aims to design a high-performance magnetic hydrogel composed of gelatin methacrylate and highly magnetic cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles for osteosarcoma treatment. Specifically, CFO is surface functionalized with methacrylate groups (MeCFO). The surface modified CFO has good biocompatibility and stable solution dispersion ability. Afterward, MeCFO nanoparticles are incorporated into GelMA to fabricate a three-dimensional (3D) printable MeCFO/GelMA magnetic hydrogel and then photocross-linked by UV radiation. MeCFO/GelMA hydrogel has high porosity and swelling ability, indicating that the hydrogel possesses more space and good hydrophily for cell survival. The rheological results showed that the hydrogel has shear thinning property, which is suitable as a bioprinting ink to produce desired structures by a 3D printer. Furthermore, 50 μg/mL MeCFO not only decreases the cell activity of osteosarcoma cells but also promotes the osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs. The results of the CCK-8 assay and live/dead staining showed that MeCFO/GelMA hydrogel had good cytocompatibility. These results indicated that MeCFO/GelMA hydrogel with potential antitumor and bone reconstruction functions is a promising therapeutic strategy after osteosarcoma resection.

Abstract
Single-molecule microscopic techniques allow the counting of successive turnover events and the study of the time-dependent fluctuations of the catalytic activities of individual enzymes and different sites on a single heterogeneous nanocatalyst. It is important to establish theoretical methods to obtain the statistical measurements of such stochastic fluctuations that provide insight into the catalytic mechanism. In this review, we discuss a few theoretical frameworks for evaluating the first passage time distribution functions using a self-consistent pathway approach and chemical master equations, to establish a connection with experimental observables. The measurable probability distribution functions and their moments depend on the molecular details of the reaction and provide a way to quantify the molecular mechanisms of the reaction process. The statistical measurements of these fluctuations should provide insight into the enzymatic mechanism.

Abstract
Magnetic nanosystems (MNSs) consisting of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) coated by human serum albumin (HSA), commonly used as a component of hybrid nanosystems for theranostics, were engineered and characterized. The HSA coating was obtained by means of adsorption and free radical modification of the protein molecules on the surface of IONPs exhibiting peroxidase-like activity. The generation of hydroxyl radicals in the reaction of IONPs with hydrogen peroxide was proven by the spin trap technique. The methods of dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electron magnetic resonance (EMR) were applied to confirm the stability of the coatings formed on the surface of the IONPs. The synthesized MNSs (d ~35 nm by DLS) were intraarterially administered in tumors implanted to rats in the dose range from 20 to 60 μg per animal and studied in vivo as a contrasting agent for computed tomography. The long-term (within 14 days of the experiment) presence of the MNSs in the tumor vascular bed was detected without immediate or delayed adverse reactions and significant systemic toxic effects during the observation period. The peroxidase-like activity of MNSs was proven by the colorimetric test with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) as a substrate. The potential of the synthesized MNSs to be used for theranostics, particularly, in oncology, was discussed.

Abstract
A carbon shell encapsulating a transition metal-based core has emerged as an intriguing type of catalyst structure, but the effect of the shell thickness on the catalytic properties of the buried components is not well known. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study to reveal the thickness effect by carbonizing the isotropic and homogeneous oleylamine (OAm) ligands that cover colloidal MoS2. A thermal treatment turns OAm into a uniform carbon shell, while the size of MoS2 monolayers remains identical. When evaluated toward an acidic hydrogen evolution reaction, the calcined MoS2 catalysts deliver a volcano-type activity trend that depends on the calcination temperature. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy consistently provide an accurate quantification of the carbon shell thickness. The same variation pattern of catalytic activity and carbon shell thickness, aided by kinetic studies, is then persuasively justified by the respective limitations of electron and proton conductivities on the two branches of the volcano curve.

Abstract
Exploiting the local heat on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) upon exposure to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) to cleave thermal labile bonds represents an interesting approach in the context of remotely triggered drug delivery. Here, taking advantages of a simple and scalable two-step ligand exchange reaction, we have prepared iron oxide nanocubes (IONCs) functionalized with a novel multifunctional polymer ligand having multiple catechol moieties, furfuryl pendants, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) side chains. Catechol groups ensure a strong binding of the polymer ligands to the IONCs surface, while the PEG chains provide good colloidal stability to the polymer-coated IONCs. More importantly, furfuryl pendants on the polymer enable to click the molecules of interest (either maleimide-fluorescein or maleimide-doxorubicin) via a thermal labile Diels-Alder adduct. The resulting IONCs functionalized with a fluorescein/doxorubicin-conjugated polymer ligand exhibit good colloidal stability in buffer saline and serum solution along with outstanding heating performance in aqueous solution or even in viscous media (81% glycerol/water) when exposed to the AMF of clinical use. The release of conjugated bioactive molecules such as fluorescein and doxorubicin could be boosted by applying AMF conditions of clinical use (16 kAm-1 and 110 kHz). It is remarkable that the magnetic hyperthermia-mediated release of the dye/drug falls in the concentration range 1.0-5.0 μM at an IONCs dose as low as 0.5 gFe/L and at no macroscopical temperature change. This local release effect makes this magnetic nanoplatform a potential tool for drug delivery with remote magnetic hyperthermia actuation and with a dose-independent action of MNPs.

Abstract
Nanomedicines overcome the pharmacokinetic limitations of traditional drug formulations and have promising prospect in cancer treatment. However, nanomedicine delivery in vivo is still facing challenges from the complex physiological environment. For the purpose of effective tumor therapy, they should be designed to guarantee the five features principle, including long blood circulation, efficient tumor accumulation, deep matrix penetration, enhanced cell internalization and accurate drug release. To ensure the excellent performance of the designed nanomedicine, it would be better to monitor the drug delivery process as well as the therapeutic effects by real-time imaging. In this review, we summarize strategies in developing nanomedicines for efficiently meeting the five features of drug delivery, and the role of several imaging modalities (fluorescent imaging (FL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), positron emission tomography (PET), and electron microscopy) in tracing drug delivery and therapeutic effect in vivo based on five features principle.

Abstract
As an electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for water decomposition purposes, spinel ferrite materials have gained a lot of attention from many researchers. Herein, we document a co-precipitation synthesis of antitypical spinel nanoparticles (FeMn2O4) by post-annealing at different temperatures to enable modulation of the cationic oxidation state and tuning of the conversion degree for efficient and good OER performance. The electrocatalytic activity test shows that the sample annealed at 500 °C has the most optimal catalytic activity with an overpotential of 360 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope as low as 105.32 mV dec-1. The formation of FeOOH during in situ OER promotes the catalytic activity of the catalysts. More importantly, according to the results of Brunauer-Emmett-Teller normalization, we demonstrate that the activity of the catalyst is also inseparable from the internal crystal structure. This work broadens the field of research on the electrocatalysis of spinel manganese ferrites.

Abstract
Nickel and nickel phosphide nanoparticles are highly useful in various fields, owing to their catalytic and magnetic properties. Although several synthetic protocols to produce nickel and nickel phosphide nanoparticles have been previously proposed, controllable synthesis of nanoparticles using these methods is challenging. Herein, we synthesized highly monodisperse nickel and nickel phosphide nanoparticles via thermal decomposition of nickel-oleylamine-phosphine complexes in organic solvents. The size and composition of the nickel and nickel phosphide nanoparticles were easily controlled by changing the aging temperature, precursor concentration, and phosphine surfactant type. Large-sized monodisperse nickel nanoparticles obtained using our method were successfully applied for the purification of histidine-tagged proteins.

Abstract
For the success of biomedical applications of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MION), such as magnetic hyperthermia and magnetic particle imaging, it is essential to understand the orientational dynamics of MION in a complex fluid under an alternating field. Here, using the magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) measurement, we directly observed the orientational behavior of MION in a hydrogel under a damped oscillating magnetic field (DOMF) of 33 kHz in frequency. Hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane (HEUR) is examined as the network polymer because the mesh size of the network is controllable with its concentration. We used two MIONs: a bare MION (MION1) and a MION coated with an amphiphilic polymer (MION2). Where the mesh size of the gel network is larger than the particle's hydrodynamic diameter, MION1 in the hydrogel rotates in the same manner in a simple solution, although the macroscopic rheological property of the medium is quite different. Meanwhile, the orientational behavior of MION2 is dramatically changed by the addition of HEUR molecules even below the minimum gelation concentration, indicating that MION2 is associated with the flower micelles of HEUR. By analyzing the MLD waveform, the orientational behavior of MION1 in the HEUR gel under a DOMF can be explained with single-mode relaxation, whereas that of MION2 is complicated; a rapid partial rotation near the particle and a whole slow rotation of the particle-flower micelle associate are superimposed. It is hard to distinguish this difference in orientational behaviors from the dynamic magnetization curve because the dominant magnetization reversal process is Néel rotation, the rotation of the magnetic moment in the particle. The MLD measurement is a potential tool for optimizing biomedical techniques utilizing MIONs and for nanorheology or colloid science in a complex matrix such as a hydrogel or cytoplasmic matrix.

Abstract
An efficient and reusable catalyst, which is 3-(propylthio)propane-1-sulfonic acid immobillized on functionalized magnetic nanoparticles [PTPSA@SiO2-Fe3O4], has been synthesized. For the first time, it is highlighted under solvent-free conditions for the catalytic activity in multicomponent synthesis of dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates and tetrahydrotetrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolinones. The structure of the catalyst was well confirmed by characterization techniques, such as FT-IR, TGA, SEM-EDX, elemental mapping, TEM, VSM and elemental analysis. Besides, this unique catalyst was found to be effectual up to six cycles, which made it spotlighted. Recyclability of catalyst, excellent yield of the products, short reaction time and clean reaction profile are the advantages of the present protocol.

Abstract
Functional nanomaterials have been widely used in biomedical fields due to their good biocompatibility, excellent physicochemical properties, easy surface modification, and easy regulation of size and morphology. Functional nanomaterials for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can target specific sites in vivo and more easily detect disease-related specific biomarkers at the molecular and cellular levels than traditional contrast agents, achieving a broad application prospect in MRI. This review focuses on the basic principles of MRI, the classification, synthesis and surface modification methods of contrast agents, and their clinical applications to provide guidance for designing novel contrast agents and optimizing the contrast effect. Furthermore, the latest biomedical advances of functional nanomaterials in medical diagnosis and disease detection, disease treatment, the combination of diagnosis and treatment (theranostics), multi-model imaging and nanozyme are also summarized and discussed. Finally, the bright application prospects of functional nanomaterials in biomedicine are emphasized and the urgent need to achieve significant breakthroughs in the industrial transformation and the clinical translation is proposed. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Diagnostic Tools > Diagnostic Nanodevices Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and effective treatment of cancer are significant issues that should be focused on since it is one of the most deadly diseases. Multifunctional nanomaterials can offer new cancer diagnoses and treatment possibilities. These nanomaterials with diverse functions, including targeting, imaging, and therapy, are being studied extensively in a way that minimize overcoming the limitations associated with traditional cancer diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the goal of this study is to prepare multifunctional nanocomposites possessing the potential to be used simultaneously in imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dual cancer therapy such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In this context, multi-core MnFe2O4 nanoparticles, which can be used as a potential MRI contrast agent and target the desired region in the body via a magnetic field, were successfully synthesized via the solvothermal method. Then, multi-core nanoparticles were coated with polydopamine (PDA) to reduce gold nanoparticles, bind boron on the surface, and ensure the biocompatibility of all materials. Finally, gold nanoparticles were reduced on the surface of PDA-coated MnFe2O4, and boric acid was attached to the hybrid materials for also possessing the ability to be used as a potential agent in PTT and BNCT applications in addition to being an MRI agent. According to the cell viability assay, treatment of the glioblastoma cell line (T98G) with MnFe2O4@PDA-Au-BA for 24 and 48 h did not cause any significant cell death, indicating good biocompatibility. All analysis results showed that the developed MnFe2O4@PDA-Au-BA multifunctional material could be a helpful candidate for biomedical applications such as MRI, PTT, and BNCT.

Breaking with the Principles of Coreduction to Form Stoichiometric Intermetallic PdCu Nanoparticles. SMALL METHODS 2022; 6:e2200420.

Abstract
Intermetallic nanoparticles (NPs) have shown enhanced catalytic properties as compared to their disordered alloy counterparts. To advance their use in green energy, it is crucial to understand what controls the formation of intermetallic NPs over alloy structures. By carefully selecting the additives used in NP synthesis, it is here shown that monodisperse, intermetallic PdCu NPs can be synthesized in a controllable manner. Introducing the additives iron(III) chloride and ascorbic acid, both morphological and structural control can be achieved. Combined, these additives provide a synergetic effect resulting in precursor reduction and defect-free growth; ultimately leading to monodisperse, single-crystalline, intermetallic PdCu NPs. Using in situ X-ray total scattering, a hitherto unknown transformation pathway is reported that diverges from the commonly reported coreduction disorder-order transformation. A Cu-rich structure initially forms, which upon the incorporation of Pd(0) and atomic ordering forms intermetallic PdCu NPs. These findings underpin that formation of stoichiometric intermetallic NPs is not limited by standard reduction potential matching and coreduction mechanisms, but is instead driven by changes in the local chemistry. Ultimately, using the local chemistry as a handle to tune the NP structure might open new opportunities to expand the library of intermetallic NPs by exploiting synthesis by design.
