Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases requires approaches to enhance disease monitoring and treatment. Nanoparticles offer promising potential in this area by being customisable to target components or molecular processes within plaques, while carrying diagnostic and therapeutic agents. However, the number of biomarkers available to target this disease is limited. This study investigated the use of sphingomyelin-based nanomicelles triggered by sphingomyelinase (SMase) in atherosclerotic plaques. Accumulation of iron oxide-based nanomicelles in the plaque was demonstrated by fluorescence, MR imaging and electron microscopy. These findings demonstrate the possibility of utilising SMase as a mechanism to retain nanoprobes within plaques, thus opening up possibilities for future therapeutic interventions.

Magnetosomes and Magnetosome Mimics: Preparation, Cancer Cell Uptake and Functionalization for Future Cancer Therapies. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:367.

Abstract
Magnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) are heralded as model vehicles for nanomedicine, particularly cancer therapeutics. However, there are many methods of synthesizing different sized and coated MNP, which may affect their performance as nanomedicines. Magnetosomes are naturally occurring, lipid-coated MNP that exhibit exceptional hyperthermic heating, but their properties, cancer cell uptake and toxicity have yet to be compared to other MNP. Magnetosomes can be mimicked by coating MNP in either amphiphilic oleic acid or silica. In this study, magnetosomes are directly compared to control MNP, biomimetic oleic acid and silica coated MNP of varying sizes. MNP are characterized and compared with respect to size, magnetism, and surface properties. Small (8 ± 1.6 nm) and larger (32 ± 9.9 nm) MNP are produced by two different methods and coated with either silica or oleic acid, increasing the size and the size dispersity of the MNP. The coated larger MNP are comparable in size (49 ± 12.5 nm and 61 ± 18.2 nm) to magnetosomes (46 ± 11.8 nm) making good magnetosome mimics. All MNP are assessed and compared for cancer cell uptake in MDA-MB-231 cells and importantly, all are readily taken up with minimal toxic effect. Silica coated MNP show the most uptake with greater than 60% cell uptake at the highest concentration, and magnetosomes showing the least with less than 40% at the highest concentration, while size does not have a significant effect on uptake. Finally, surface functionalization is demonstrated for magnetosomes and silica coated MNP using biotinylation and EDC-NHS, respectively, to conjugate fluorescent probes. The modified particles are visualized in MDA-MB-231 cells and demonstrate how both naturally biosynthesized magnetosomes and biomimetic silica coated MNP can be functionalized and readily up taken by cancer cells for realization as nanomedical vehicles.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles are the basic components of the most promising magneto-responsive systems for nanomedicine, ranging from drug delivery and imaging to hyperthermia cancer treatment, as well as to rapid point-of-care diagnostic systems with magnetic nanoparticles. Advanced synthesis procedures of single- and multi-core iron-oxide nanoparticles with high magnetic moment and well-defined size and shape, being designed to simultaneously fulfill multiple biomedical functionalities, have been thoroughly evaluated. The review summarizes recent results in manufacturing novel magnetic nanoparticle systems, as well as the use of proper characterization methods that are relevant to the magneto-responsive nature, size range, surface chemistry, structuring behavior, and exploitation conditions of magnetic nanosystems. These refer to particle size, size distribution and aggregation characteristics, zeta potential/surface charge, surface coating, functionalization and catalytic activity, morphology (shape, surface area, surface topology, crystallinity), solubility and stability (e.g., solubility in biological fluids, stability on storage), as well as to DC and AC magnetic properties, particle agglomerates formation, and flow behavior under applied magnetic field (magnetorheology).

Abstract
Functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are of great interest due to wide range applications, especially in nanomedicine. However, they face challenges preventing their further applications such as rapid agglomeration, oxidation, etc. Appropriate surface modification of IONPs can conquer these barriers with improved physicochemical properties. This review summarizes recent advances in the surface modification of IONPs with small organic molecules, polymers and inorganic materials. The preparation methods, mechanisms and applications of surface-modified IONPs with different materials are discussed. Finally, the technical barriers of IONPs and their limitations in practical applications are pointed out, and the development trends and prospects are discussed.

Abstract
The synthesis procedure of nanoparticles based on thermal degradation produces organic solvent dispersible iron oxide nanoparticles (OA-IONP) with oleic acid coating and unique physicochemical properties of the core. Some glycosides with hydrophilic sugar moieties bound to oleyl hydrophobic chains have antimitotic activity on cancer cells but reduced in vivo applications because of the intrinsic low solubility in physiological media, and are prone to enzymatic hydrolysis. In this manuscript, we have synthetized and characterized OA-IONP-based micelles encapsulated within amphiphilic bioactive glycosides. The glycoside-coated IONP micelles were tested as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents as well as antimitotics on rat glioma (C6) and human lung carcinoma (A549) cell lines. Micelle antimitotic activity was compared with the activity of the corresponding free glycosides. In general, all OA-IONP-based micellar formulations of these glycosides maintained their anti-tumor effects, and, in one case, showed an unusual therapeutic improvement. Finally, the micelles presented optimal relaxometric properties for their use as T2-weighed MRI contrast agents. Our results suggest that these bioactive hydrophilic nano-formulations are theranostic agents with synergistic properties obtained from two entities, which separately are not ready for in vivo applications, and strengthen the possibility of using biomolecules as both a coating for OA-IONP micellar stabilization and as drugs for therapy.

Abstract
Fe3O4 nanoparticles synthesized via thermal decomposition in the organic phase have attracted tremendous research interest because of their unique morphology, size dispersion, and crystallinity. However, their poor water dispersibility strongly limited their development in biomedical applications. Therefore, a phase-transfer strategy through which hydrophobic nanoparticles with good performance in the aqueous phase can be obtained is an extremely critical issue. Herein, we present a large-scale, facile, highly efficient strategy for the phase transfer of oleic acid-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a reverse-micelle-based oxidative reaction. The reverse micelle system improves the efficiency of the interface oxidative reaction and prevents the aggregation of nanoparticles during the reaction, facilitating the transfer of Fe3O4 nanoparticles from the organic phase to the aqueous phase. The transferred Fe3O4 nanoparticles are used as a T2 contrast agent to perform magnetic resonance imaging of CNE2 cells (nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line). In addition, the free carboxyl groups on the surface of transferred nanoparticles can also be programmed to permit the conjugation of other molecules, in turn allowing nanoparticles to be extended in biological targeting or biological recognition applications. Therefore, this strategy offers a promising platform for the large-scale, highly efficient phase transfer of oleic acid-capped nanoparticles and may become a new paradigm to promote the development of diverse nanoparticles for widespread biomedical applications.

Abstract
This work reports important advances in the study of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) related to their application in different research fields such as magnetic hyperthermia. Nanotherapy based on targeted nanoparticles could become an attractive alternative to conventional oncologic treatments as it allows a local heating in tumoral surroundings without damage to healthy tissue. RGD-peptide-conjugated MNPs have been designed to specifically target αVβ3 receptor-expressing cancer cells, being bound the RGD peptides by "click chemistry" due to its selectivity and applicability. The thermal decomposition of iron metallo-organic precursors yield homogeneous Fe3O4 nanoparticles that have been properly functionalized with RGD peptides, and the preparation of magnetic fluids has been achieved. The nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), electron magnetic resonance (EMR) spectroscopy and magnetic hyperthermia. The nanoparticles present superparamagnetic behavior with very high magnetization values, which yield hyperthermia values above 500 W/g for magnetic fluids. These fluids have been administrated to rats, but instead of injecting MNP fluid directly into liver tumors, intravascular administration of MNPs in animals with induced colorectal tumors has been performed. Afterwards the animals were exposed to an alternating magnetic field in order to achieve hyperthermia. The evolution of an in vivo model has been described, resulting in a significant reduction in tumor viability.

Abstract
A fast and reproducible microwave-driven protocol has been developed for the synthesis of neridronate-functionalized nanoparticles. Starting from the synthesis of hydrophobic nanoparticles, our method is based on an adaptation from thermal decomposition method to microwave driven synthesis. The new methodology produces a decrease in the reaction times in comparison with traditional procedures. Moreover, the use of the microwave technology increases the reproducibility of the reactions, something important from the point of view of clinical applications. The novelty of this iron oxide nanoparticle is the attachment of Neridronate. The use of this molecule leads a bisphosphonate moiety towards the outside of the nanoparticle that provides Ca2+ binding properties in vitro and selective accumulation in vivo in the atheroma plaque. The protocol allows the synthesis and plaque detection in about 3 hr since the initial synthesis from organic precursors. Their accumulation in the atherosclerotic area in less than 1 hr provides a contrast agent particularly suitable for clinical applications.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an integral part of modern clinical imaging due to its non-invasiveness and versatility in providing tissue and organ images with high spatial resolution. With the current MRI advancement, MRI imaging probes with suitable biocompatibility, good colloidal stability, enhanced relaxometric properties and advanced functionalities are highly demanded. As such, MRI contrast agents (CAs) have been an extensive research and development area. In the recent years, different inorganic-based nanoprobes comprising inorganic magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with an organic functional coating have been engineered to obtain a suitable contrast enhancement effect. For biomedical applications, the organic functional coating is critical to improve colloidal stability and biocompatibility. Simultaneously, it also provides a building block for generating a higher dimensional secondary structure. In this review, the combinatorial design approach by a self-assembling pre-formed hydrophobic inorganic MNPs core (from non-polar thermolysis synthesis) into various functional organic coatings (e.g. ligands, amphiphilic polymers and graphene oxide) to form water soluble nanocomposites will be discussed. The resultant magnetic ensembles were classified based on their dimensionality, namely, 0-D, 1-D, 2-D and 3-D structures. This classification provides further insight into their subsequent potential use as MRI CAs. Special attention will be dedicated towards the correlation between the spatial distribution and the associated MRI applications, which include (i) coating optimization-induced MR relaxivity enhancement, (ii) aggregation-induced MR relaxivity enhancement, (iii) off-resonance saturation imaging (ORS), (iv) magnetically-induced off-resonance imaging (ORI), (v) dual-modalities MR imaging and (vi) multifunctional nanoprobes.

Abstract
The production of magnetic nanoparticles of utmost quality for biomedical imaging requires several steps, from the synthesis of highly crystalline magnetic cores to the attachment of the different molecules on the surface. This last step probably plays the key role in the production of clinically useful nanomaterials. The attachment of the different biomolecules should be performed in a defined and controlled fashion, avoiding the random adsorption of the components that could lead to undesirable byproducts and ill-characterized surface composition. In this work, we review the process of creating new magnetic nanomaterials for imaging, particularly for the detection of atherosclerotic plaque, in vivo. Our focus will be in the different biofunctionalization techniques that we and several other groups have recently developed. Magnetic nanomaterial functionalization should be performed by chemoselective techniques. This approach will facilitate the application of these nanomaterials in the clinic, not as an exception, but as any other pharmacological compound.

Abstract
In this study we report the development of a bioconjugate between superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and Phl p5a (one of the major allergens from grass pollen). The bioconjugate also contains an optical probe (Alexa647) conjugated to the nanoparticle via biotin-streptavidin association. We show that this conjugate has a range of features that makes it a very promising candidate to image the localization of this allergen in vivo: (a) upon conjugation to the iron oxide nanoparticles, the allergen retains its ability to interact with IgE antibodies; (b) the magnetic properties of the iron oxide core of this bioconjugate are suitable for MR imaging; and (c) Alexa647 fluorophore retains its emission properties once attached to the iron oxide nanoparticles, yielding a dual modality MRI-optical probe.

Abstract
In the present work, we demonstrate that nucleotide can adsorb efficiently on the surface of carboxylic acid-functionalized nanoparticles and stabilize the particles against aggregation. In the present study we take magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO), and upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) as models. The result shows that not only MNPs, but also other kinds of nanoparticles that have similar surface properties can be dispersed and stabilized by nucleotides. Interestingly, adenosine bearing different numbers of phosphate groups has distinct stabilizing effect. On the basis of this observation, we developed a magnetic relaxation-based enzyme assay for quantitative analysis of alkaline phosphatase. A detection limit of 0.002 U/μL for calf intestine alkaline phosphatase (CIAP) could be obtained, which is lower than the gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric method. In contrast to the conventional magnetic relaxation switches (MRSw), this assay was achieved without covalent modification and separation steps, sandwich type binding was not required as well, which would potentially expand the application of magnetic relaxation-based analysis.

Abstract
The combination of nanoparticles, gene therapy, and medical imaging has given rise to a new field known as gene theranostics, in which a nanobioconjugate is used to diagnose and treat the disease. The process generally involves binding between a vector carrying the genetic information and a nanoparticle, which provides the signal for imaging. The synthesis of this probe generates a synergic effect, enhancing the efficiency of gene transduction and imaging contrast. We discuss the latest approaches in the synthesis of nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging, gene therapy strategies, and their conjugation and in vivo application.

Abstract
Modern electrochemical devices require the morphological control of the active material. In this paper the synthesis of nickel hydroxide, as common active compound of such devices, is presented. The influence of ultrasound in the synthesis of nickel hydroxide from aqueous ammonia complexes is studied showing that ultrasound allows the fabrication of flower-like particles with sizes ranging in between 0.7 and 1.0μm in contrast with the 6-8μm particles obtained in the absence of ultrasound. The influence of gas flow, temperature of the process and surfactants in the ultrasonically prepared powders is discussed in term of shape, size and agglomeration of the particles. Adjusting the experimental condition, spherical or platelet-like particles are obtained with sizes ranging from 1.3μm to 200nm.

Abstract
A new methodology for the synthesis of hydrophilic iron oxide nanoparticles has been developed. This new method is based on the direct chemical modification of the nanoparticles' surfactant molecules. Using this methodology both USPIO (ultrasmall super paramagnetic iron oxide) (hydrodynamic size smaller than 50 nm) and SPIO (super paramagnetic iron oxide) (hydrodynamic size bigger than 50 nm) were obtained. In addition, we also show that it is possible to further functionalize the hydrophilic nanoparticles via covalent chemistry in water. The magnetic properties of these nanoparticles were also studied, showing their potential as MRI contrast agents.
