Abstract
RNA therapy involves utilizing RNA-based molecules to control biological pathways, aiming to cure specific diseases. As our understanding of RNA functions and their roles has expanded, the application of RNA therapies has broadened to target various therapeutic points. This approach holds promise for treating a range of diseases, including kidney diseases. Therapeutic RNA can be employed to target specific genes or pathways implicated in the development of kidney conditions, such as inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress. This review highlights the therapeutic potential of RNA-based therapies across different types of kidney diseases, encompassing infection, inflammation, nephrotoxicity, and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Furthermore, studies have pinpointed the specific kidney cells involved in RNA therapy. To address challenges hindering the potential impact of RNA-based drugs on their targets, nanotechnology is integrated, and RNA-loaded vehicles with ligands are explored for more efficient outcomes.

Palmer TC, Hunter RW. Using RNA-based therapies to target the kidney in cardiovascular disease. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1250073.

Abstract
RNA-based therapies are currently used for immunisation against infections and to treat metabolic diseases. They can modulate gene expression in immune cells and hepatocytes, but their use in other cell types has been limited by an inability to selectively target specific tissues. Potential solutions to this targeting problem involve packaging therapeutic RNA molecules into delivery vehicles that are preferentially delivered to cells of interest. In this review, we consider why the kidney is a desirable target for RNA-based therapies in cardiovascular disease and discuss how such therapy could be delivered. Because the kidney plays a central role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis, many extant drugs used for preventing cardiovascular disease act predominantly on renal tubular cells. Moreover, kidney disease is a major independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a global health problem. Chronic kidney disease is projected to become the fifth leading cause of death by 2040, with around half of affected individuals dying from cardiovascular disease. The most promising strategies for delivering therapeutic RNA selectively to kidney cells make use of synthetic polymers and engineered extracellular vesicles to deliver an RNA cargo. Future research should focus on establishing the safety of these novel delivery platforms in humans, on developing palatable routes of administration and on prioritising the gene targets that are likely to have the biggest impact in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Biosafety is a critical issue for the successful translocation of nanomaterial-based therapeutic/diagnostic agents from bench to bedside. For instance, after the withdrawal of clinically approved magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agents (CAs) due to their biosafety issues, there is a massive demand for alternative, efficient, and biocompatible MR contrast agents for future MRI clinical applications. To this end, here we successfully demonstrate the in vivo MR contrast abilities and biocompatibilities of ligand-free FeSn2 alloy NPs for tracking in vivo lung tumors. In vitro and in vivo results reveal the FeSn2 alloy NPs acting as appreciable T2 weighted MR contrast agents to locate tumors. The construction of iron (Fe) on biocompatible tin (Sn) greatly facilitates the reduction of the intrinsic toxicities of Fe in vivo resulting in no significant abnormalities in liver and kidney functions. Therefore, we envision that constructing ligand-free alloy NPs will be a promising candidate for tracking in vivo tumors in future clinical applications.

The potential of RNA-based therapy for kidney diseases. Pediatr Nephrol 2023; 38:327-344.

Abstract
Inherited kidney diseases (IKDs) are a large group of disorders affecting different nephron segments, many of which progress towards kidney failure due to the absence of curative therapies. With the current advances in genetic testing, the understanding of the molecular basis and pathophysiology of these disorders is increasing and reveals new potential therapeutic targets. RNA has revolutionized the world of molecular therapy and RNA-based therapeutics have started to emerge in the kidney field. To apply these therapies for inherited kidney disorders, several aspects require attention. First, the mRNA must be combined with a delivery vehicle that protects the oligonucleotides from degradation in the blood stream. Several types of delivery vehicles have been investigated, including lipid-based, peptide-based, and polymer-based ones. Currently, lipid nanoparticles are the most frequently used formulation for systemic siRNA and mRNA delivery. Second, while the glomerulus and tubules can be reached by charge- and/or size-selectivity, delivery vehicles can also be equipped with antibodies, antibody fragments, targeting peptides, carbohydrates or small molecules to actively target receptors on the proximal tubule epithelial cells, podocytes, mesangial cells or the glomerular endothelium. Furthermore, local injection strategies can circumvent the sequestration of RNA formulations in the liver and physical triggers can also enhance kidney-specific uptake. In this review, we provide an overview of current and potential future RNA-based therapies and targeting strategies that are in development for kidney diseases, with particular interest in inherited kidney disorders.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. With the rising prevalence of diabetes, the occurrence of DN is likely to hit pandemic proportions. The current treatment strategies employed for DN focus on the management of blood pressure, glycemia, and cholesterol while neglecting DN’s molecular progression mechanism. For many theranostic uses, nano-technological techniques have evolved in biomedical studies. Several nanotechnologically based theranostics have been devised that can be tagged with targeting moieties for both drug administration and/or imaging systems and are being studied to identify various clinical conditions. The molecular mechanisms involved in DN are discussed in this review to assist in understanding its onset and progression pattern. We have also discussed emerging strategies for establishing a nanomedicine-based platform for DN-targeted drug delivery to increase drug’s efficacy and safety, as well as their reported applications.

Abstract
The kidneys are vital organs performing several essential functions. Their primary function is the filtration of blood and the removal of metabolic waste products as well as fluid homeostasis. Renal filtration is the main pathway for drug removal, highlighting the importance of this organ to the growing field of nanomedicine. The kidneys (i) have a key role in the transport and clearance of nanoparticles (NPs), (ii) are exposed to potential NPs’ toxicity, and (iii) are the targets of diseases that nanomedicine can study, detect, and treat. In this review, we aim to summarize the latest research on kidney-nanoparticle interaction. We first give a brief overview of the kidney’s anatomy and renal filtration, describe how nanoparticle characteristics influence their renal clearance, and the approaches taken to image and treat the kidney, including drug delivery and tissue engineering. Finally, we discuss the future and some of the challenges faced by nanomedicine.

Abstract
Globally, diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the foremost cause of end-stage renal disease. With the incidence of diabetes increasing day by day, DN's occurrence is expected to surge to pandemic proportions. Current available therapeutic interventions associated with DN emphasize blood pressure, glycemia and lipid control while ignoring DN's progression mechanism at a molecular level. This review sheds light on the molecular insights involved in DN to help understand the initiation and progression pattern. Further, we summarize novel strategies with reported applications in developing a nanomedicine-based platform for DN-targeted drug delivery to improve drug efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has benefited from recent advances in chemistry and biomedical engineering to produce nanoscale materials as theranostic agents. Well-designed nanomaterials may present optimal biological properties, influencing circulation, retention, and excretion for imaging and treatment of various diseases. As the understanding of nanomedicine pharmacokinetics expands continuously, efficient renal clearance of nanomedicines can significantly increase the signal-to-background ratio for precision diagnosis and lower potential toxicity for improved treatment. Studies on nanomaterial-kidney interactions have led to many novel findings on the underlying principles of nanomaterial renal clearance, targeting, and accumulation. In return, the optimized nanomedicines confer significant benefits to the detection and treatment of kidney dysfunction.In this Account, we present an overview of recent progress in the development of nanomaterials for kidney theranostics, aiming to speed up translation and expand possible applications. We start by introducing biological structures of the kidney and their influence on renal targeting, retention, and clearance. Several key factors regarding renal accumulation and excretion, including nanomaterial types, sizes, and shapes, surface charges, and chemical modifications, are identified and discussed. Next, we highlight our recent efforts investigating kidney-interacting nanomaterials and introduce representative nanomedicines for imaging and treatment of kidney diseases. Multiple renal-clearable and renal-accumulating nanomedicines were devised for kidney function imaging. By employing renal-clearable nanomedicines, including gold nanoparticles, porphyrin polymers, DNA frameworks, and polyoxometalate clusters, we were able to noninvasively evaluate split renal function in healthy and diseased mice. Further engineering of renal-accumulating nanosystems has shifted attention from renal diagnosis to precision kidney protection. Many biocompatible nanomedicines, such as DNA origami, selenium-doped carbon quantum dots, melanin nanoparticles, and black phosphorus have all played essential roles in diminishing excessive reactive oxygen species for kidney treatment and protection. Finally, we discuss the challenges and perspectives of nanomaterials for renal care, their future clinical translation, and how they may affect the current landscape of clinical practices. We believe that this Account updates our current understanding of nanomaterial-kidney interactions for further design and control of nanomedicines for specific kidney diagnosis and treatment. This timely Account will generate broad interest in integrating nanotechnology and nanomaterial-biological interaction for state-of-the-art theranostics of renal diseases.

Abstract
Aim: This paper aims to investigate a doxorubicin (DOX) chronic kidney disease rat model using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) associated with the alternate current biosusceptometry (ACB) to analyze its different perfusion profiles in both healthy and DOX-injured kidneys. Materials & methods: We used the ACB to detect the MNP kidney perfusion in vivo. Furthermore, we performed biochemical and histological analyses, which sustained results obtained from the ACB system. We also studied the MNP biodistribution. Results: We found that DOX kidney injury alters the MNPs' kidney perfusion. These changes became more intense as the disease progressed. Moreover, DOX has an important effect on MNP biodistribution as the disease evolved. Conclusion: This study provides new applications of MNPs in nephrology, instrumentation, pharmacology, physiology and nanomedicine.

Abstract
The combination of magnetic and plasmonic properties using iron oxide/gold nanocomposite particles is crucial for the development of multimodal molecular imaging probes. In this study, iron oxide/gold composite nanoparticles (NanoIOGs) were synthesized via the on-site reduction of an Au precursor salt by polyethyleneimine (PEI) molecules attached to iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), and they were employed in magnetic resonance and dark-field microscope imaging. PEI is considered as a polymeric active stabilizer (PAS), acting as a reducing agent for the synthesis of Au and a dispersant for nanoparticles. When the IONPs prepared at the PEI concentration of 0.02 wt. % were used for the NanoIOG synthesis, Au nanoseeds were formed around the IONPs. The alloy clusters of IONPs/Au crystals were produced with further reduction depending on PEI concentration. The NanoIOGs exhibited superparamagnetism in a magnetic field and plasmonic response in a dark-field (DF) microscope. The sizes, morphologies, magnetizations, and r₂ relaxivities of NanoIOGs were affected significantly by the amount of PEI added during the NanoIOG synthesis. It is suggested that the PAS-mediated synthesis is simple and effective, and can be applied to various nanostructured Au-metal alloys.

Abstract
The kidney is one of the body's main filtration organs, and hence, opportunity exists for designing nanomedicine that can naturally accumulate in the kidneys for renal diseases. In addition to traditional physiochemical properties for kidney accumulation, such as size and charge, synthesized nanoparticles can be conjugated with targeting ligands which further home the nanocarriers to cell types of interest. In this review, we highlight key studies that have shown success in utilizing peptide- or antibody-based ligands in nanoparticles to target the glomerulus, podocytes, or renal tubule cells in the kidney. In addition, other ligand candidates which have shown renal affinity, but have not yet been integrated into a nanoparticle are also presented. These studies can provide insight into the design of novel clinical solutions for improved detection, prevention, and treatment of renal diseases using nanomedicine efforts.

Abstract
MnZn ferrite (MnZnFe2O4, MZF) nanoparticles (NPs) represent an intriguing class of magnetic NPs in terms of composition-tunable magnetic properties, but the ability to control the size and morphology is essential to exploit such properties. This report describes the findings of an investigation of the size and morphology controllability in terms of growth kinetics of the NPs in a thermochemical synthesis process. MZF NPs of different sizes were synthesized at different temperatures. In addition to shape evolution, the overall size of the as-synthesized magnetic NPs is shown to increase with the reaction temperature and reaction time, revealing that the size growth process can be described by an aggregative growth mechanism. While the apparent rate constant decreases with the reaction temperature, the growth factor remains at 1-2, consistent with a low-dimensionality growth mode. Higher temperature and longer reaction time apparently favor the formation of cubic shapes. The dependence of the overall average particle size on the reaction temperature yields a diffusional activation energy in the order of 10-20 kJ mol-1, a value slightly smaller than those reported for aggregative growth of other types of NPs in solutions. The unravelling of the kinetic parameters provides some new insights into the development of strategies for synthesizing MZF NPs with controllable sizes and shapes.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been extensively used during the last two decades, either as effective bio-imaging contrast agents or as carriers of biomolecules such as drugs, nucleic acids and peptides for controlled delivery to specific organs and tissues. Most of these novel applications require elaborate tuning of the physiochemical and surface properties of the IONPs. As new IONPs designs are envisioned, synergistic consideration of the body's innate biological barriers against the administered nanoparticles and the short and long-term side effects of the IONPs become even more essential. There are several important criteria (e.g. size and size-distribution, charge, coating molecules, and plasma protein adsorption) that can be effectively tuned to control the in vivo pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of the IONPs. This paper reviews these crucial parameters, in light of biological barriers in the body, and the latest IONPs design strategies used to overcome them. A careful review of the long-term biodistribution and side effects of the IONPs in relation to nanoparticle design is also given. While the discussions presented in this review are specific to IONPs, some of the information can be readily applied to other nanoparticle systems, such as gold, silver, silica, calcium phosphates and various polymers.

Abstract
The transdermal administration of chemotherapeutic agents is a persistent challenge for tumor treatments. A model anticancer agent, epirubicin (EPI), is attached to functionalized superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPION). The covalent modification of the SPION results in EPI-SPION, a potential drug delivery vector that uses magnetism for the targeted transdermal chemotherapy of skin tumors. The spherical EPI-SPION composite exhibits excellent magnetic responsiveness with a saturation magnetization intensity of 77.8 emu g(-1) . They feature specific pH-sensitive drug release, targeting the acidic microenvironment typical in common tumor tissues or endosomes/lysosomes. Cellular uptake studies using human keratinocyte HaCaT cells and melanoma WM266 cells demonstrate that SPION have good biocompatibility. After conjugation with EPI, the nanoparticles can inhibit WM266 cell proliferation; its inhibitory effect on tumor proliferation is determined to be dose-dependent. In vitro transdermal studies demonstrate that the EPI-SPION composites can penetrate deep inside the skin driven by an external magnetic field. The magnetic-field-assisted SPION transdermal vector can circumvent the stratum corneum via follicular pathways. The study indicates the potential of a SPION-based vector for feasible transdermal therapy of skin cancer.

Abstract
Magnetic sorting using magnetic beads has become a routine methodology for the separation of key cell populations from biological suspensions. Due to the inherent ability of magnets to provide forces at a distance, magnetic cell manipulation is now a standardized process step in numerous processes in tissue engineering, medicine, and in fundamental biological research. Herein we review the current status of magnetic particles to enable isolation and separation of cells, with a strong focus on the fundamental governing physical phenomena, properties and syntheses of magnetic particles and on current applications of magnet-based cell separation in laboratory and clinical settings. We highlight the contribution of cell separation to biomedical research and medicine and detail modern cell-separation methods (both magnetic and non-magnetic). In addition to a review of the current state-of-the-art in magnet-based cell sorting, we discuss current challenges and available opportunities for further research, development and commercialization of magnetic particle-based cell-separation systems.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials have found increasing applications in medical therapies and diagnostics (theranostics). The main challenge is the ability to impart the nanomaterials with structurally tailored functional properties which can effectively target biomolecules but also provide signatures for effective detection. The harnessing of functional nanoparticles and assemblies serves as a powerful strategy for the creation of the structurally tailored multifunctional properties. This article highlights some of the important design strategies in recent investigation of metals (especially gold and silver), and magnetically functionalized nanoparticles, and molecularly assembled or biomolecularly conjugated nanoparticles with tunable optical, spectroscopic, magnetic, and electrical properties for applications in several areas of potential theranostic interests. Examples include colorimetric detection of amino acids and small peptides, surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection of biomolecular recognition of proteins and DNAs, delivery in cell transfection and bacteria inactivation, and chemiresistive detection of breath biomarkers. A major emphasis is placed on understanding how the control of the nanostructures and the molecular and biomolecular interactions impact these biofunctional properties, which has important implications for bottom-up designs of theranostic materials.

Abstract
Hybrid nanostructures composed of semiconductor and plasmonic metal components are receiving extensive attention. They display extraordinary optical characteristics that are derived from the simultaneous existence and close conjunction of localized surface plasmon resonance and semiconduction, as well as the synergistic interactions between the two components. They have been widely studied for photocatalysis, plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy, biotechnology, and solar cells. In this review, the developments in the field of (plasmonic metal)/semiconductor hybrid nanostructures are comprehensively described. The preparation of the hybrid nanostructures is first presented according to the semiconductor type, as well as the nanostructure morphology. The plasmonic properties and the enabled applications of the hybrid nanostructures are then elucidated. Lastly, possible future research in this burgeoning field is discussed.

Abstract
This paper reported a core-shell nanotheranostic agent by growing Prussian blue (PB) nanoshells of 3-6 nm around superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanocores for targeted photothermal therapy of cancer under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments proved that the Fe3O4@PB core-shell nanoparticles showed significant contrast enhancement for T2-weighted MRI with the relaxivity value of 58.9 mM(-1)·s(-1). Simultaneously, the composite nanoparticles exhibited a high photothermal effect under irradiation of a near-infrared laser due to the strong absorption of PB nanoshells, which led to more than 80% death of HeLa cells with only 0.016 mg·mL(-1) of the nanoparticles with the aid of the magnetic targeting effect. Using tumor-bearing nude mice as the model, the near-infrared laser light ablated the tumor effectively in the presence of the Fe3O4@PB nanoparticles and the tumor growth inhibition was evaluated to be 87.2%. Capabilities of MRI, magnetic targeting, and photothermal therapy were thus integrated into a single agent to allow efficient MRI-guided targeted photothermal therapy. Most importantly, both PB and Fe3O4 nanoparticles were already clinically approved drugs, so the Fe3O4@PB nanoparticles as a theranostic nanomedicine would be particularly promising for clinical applications in the human body due to the reliable biosafety.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs), due to their size-dependent physical and chemical properties, have shown remarkable potential for a wide range of applications over the past decades. Particularly, the biological compatibilities and functions of NPs have been extensively studied for expanding their potential in areas of biomedical application such as bioimaging, biosensing, and drug delivery. In doing so, surface functionalization of NPs by introducing synthetic ligands and/or natural biomolecules has become a critical component in regard to the overall performance of the NP system for its intended use. Among known examples of surface functionalization, the construction of an artificial cell membrane structure, based on phospholipids, has proven effective in enhancing biocompatibility and has become a viable alternative to more traditional modifications, such as direct polymer conjugation. Furthermore, certain bioactive molecules can be immobilized onto the surface of phospholipid platforms to generate displays more reminiscent of cellular surface components. Thus, NPs with membrane-mimetic displays have found use in a range of bioimaging, biosensing, and drug delivery applications. This review herein describes recent advances in the preparations and characterization of integrated functional NPs covered by artificial cell membrane structures and their use in various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticle coated silica (Fe3O4@SiO2) hybrid nanomaterials hold an important position in the fields of cell imaging and drug delivery. Here we report a large scale synthetic procedure that allows attachment of magnetite nanoparticles onto a silica surface in situ. Many different silica nanomaterials such as Stöber silica nanospheres, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and hollow silica nanotubes have been coated with a high density layer of water-dispersible magnetite nanoparticles. The size and attachment efficiency of the magnetite nanoparticle can be well tuned by adjusting the precursor concentration and reflux time. The functionalization of Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles with dye molecules and biocompatible polymers impart optical imaging modality and good colloidal stability in either buffer solution or serum. The functionalized materials also exhibited strong potential as negative contrast agents in T2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract
An electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) system that generates an electrospray can achieve particle formation and encapsulation by accumulating an electric charge on liquid flowing out from the nozzle. A novel coaxial EHDA system for continuous fabrication of water-stable magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is established, based on a cone-jet mode of electrospraying. Systemic variables, such as flow rates from dual nozzles and inducing voltages, are controlled to enable the preparation of water-soluble MNPs coated by polysorbate 80. The PEGylated MNPs exhibit water stability. The magnetic resonance imaging potential of these MNPs is confirmed by in vivo imaging using a gastric cancer xenograft mouse model. Thus, this advanced coaxial EHDA system demonstrates remarkable capabilities for the continuous encapsulation of MNPs to render them water-stable while preserving their properties as imaging agents.

Abstract
Despite the progress in developing new therapeutic modalities, cancer remains one of the leading diseases causing human mortality. This is mainly attributed to the inability to diagnose tumors in their early stage. By the time the tumor is confirmed, the cancer may have already metastasized, thereby making therapies challenging or even impossible. It is therefore crucial to develop new or to improve existing diagnostic tools to enable diagnosis of cancer in its early or even pre-syndrome stage. The emergence of nanotechnology has provided such a possibility. Unique physical and physiochemical properties allow nanoparticles to be utilized as tags with excellent sensitivity. When coupled with the appropriate targeting molecules, nanoparticle-based probes can interact with a biological system and sense biological changes on the molecular level with unprecedented accuracy. In the past several years, much progress has been made in applying nanotechnology to clinical imaging and diagnostics, and interdisciplinary efforts have made an impact on clinical cancer management. This article aims to review the progress in this exciting area with emphases on the preparation and engineering techniques that have been developed to assemble "smart" nanoprobes.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) comprised of nanoengineered complexes are providing new opportunities for enabling targeted delivery of a range of therapeutics and combinations. A range of functionalities can be included within a nanoparticle complex, including surface chemistry that allows attachment of cell-specific ligands for targeted delivery, surface coatings to increase circulation times for enhanced bioavailability, specific materials on the surface or in the nanoparticle core that enable storage of a therapeutic cargo until the target site is reached, and materials sensitive to local or remote actuation cues that allow controlled delivery of therapeutics to the target cells. However, despite the potential benefits of NPs as smart drug delivery and diagnostic systems, much research is still required to evaluate potential toxicity issues related to the chemical properties of NP materials, as well as their size and shape. The need to validate each NP for safety and efficacy with each therapeutic compound or combination of therapeutics is an enormous challenge, which forces industry to focus mainly on those nanoparticle materials where data on safety and efficacy already exists, i.e., predominantly polymer NPs. However, the enhanced functionality affordable by inclusion of metallic materials as part of nanoengineered particles provides a wealth of new opportunity for innovation and new, more effective, and safer therapeutics for applications such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, which require selective targeting of the therapeutic to maximize effectiveness while avoiding adverse effects on non-target tissues.

Abstract
The relevance of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) and dementia in general emphasizes the importance of developing novel targeting approaches for detecting and treating cerebrovascular amyloid (CVA) deposits. We developed a nanoparticle-based technology that uses a monoclonal antibody against fibrillar human amyloid-β42 that is surface coated onto a functionalized phospholipid monolayer. We demonstrate that this conjugated nanoparticle binds to CVA deposits in arterioles of AD transgenic mice (Tg2576) after infusion into the external carotid artery using 3 different approaches. The first 2 approaches use a blood vessel enrichment of homogenized brain and a leptomeningeal vessel preparation from thin tangential brain slices from the surface of the cerebral cortex. Targeting of CVA by the antibody-coated nanoparticle was visualized using fluorescent lissamine rhodamine-labeled phospholipids in the nanoparticles, which were compared with fluorescent staining of the endothelial cells and amyloid deposits using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The third approach used high-field strength magnetic resonance imaging of antibody-coated iron oxide nanoparticles after infusion into the external carotid artery. Dark foci of contrast enhancement in cortical arterioles were observed in T2*-weighted images of ex vivo AD mouse brains that correlated histologically with CVA deposits. The targeting ability of these nanoparticles to CVA provides opportunities for the prevention and treatment of CAA.

Abstract
We report a simple one-pot strategy to prepare surface-function-alized, water-dispersible iron oxide nanoparticles. Small organic molecules that have desired functional groups such as amines, carboxylics, and thiols are chosen as capping agents and are injected into the reaction medium at the end of the synthesis. A diversity of functionalities are effectively introduced onto the surface of the nanoparticles with a minimal consumption of solvents and chemical resources by simply switching the capping ligand to form the ligand shell. The resulting nanocrystals are quasi-spherical and narrowly size-distributed. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies suggest a successful surface modification of iron oxide nanoparticles with selected functionalities. The colloidal stabilities are characterized by dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The results imply that functionalized nanoparticles are very stable and mostly present as individual units in buffer solutions. The pedant functional groups of the capping ligand molecules are very reactive, and their availabilities are investigated by covalently linking fluorescent dyes to the nanoparticles through the cross-linking of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride. The quenched quantum yield and shortened lifetime of the dyes strongly indicate a direct bonding between the functional group of the nanoparticles and the fluorescent molecules.

Abstract
Fe₃O₄ microsphere is a good candidate as support for catalyst because of its unique magnetic property and large surface area. Coating Fe₃O₄ microspheres with other materials can protect them from being dissolved in acid solution or add functional groups on their surface to adsorb catalyst. In this paper, a carbon layer was coated onto Fe₃O₄ microspheres by hydrothermal treatment using polyethylene glycol as the connecting agents between glucose and Fe₃O₄ spheres. Through tuning the added amounts of reactants, the thickness of the carbon layer could be well-controlled. Because of the abundant reductive groups on the surface of carbon layer, noble metal ions could be easily adsorbed and in situ reduced to nanoparticles (6-12 nm). The prepared catalyst not only had unique antiacid and magnetic properties, but also exhibited a higher catalytic activity toward the reduction of methyl orange than commercially used Pd/C catalyst.
