Abstract
We synthesized Au/Fe3O4 microparticles. Initially, citrate-capped Fe3O4 micro-sized particles were synthesized by the co-precipitation method with an excess amount of trisodium citrate. Gold ions were reduced on the surface of citrate-capped Fe3O4 and grew as gold sub-microparticles with an average diameter of 210 nm on the surface. The characteristic SPR peak of gold nanoparticles on the surface of Fe3O4 was detected at 584 nm, whereas the absorption in the near-infrared region was increased. SEM images has proved that the synthesized Au/Fe3O4 composite microparticles has an average diameter of 1.7 micrometers. The results of XRD patterns proved the existence of both crystal phases of Fe3O4 and Au particles. To investigate the catalytic activity, the reaction rate constant of reduction of 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) and degradation of Congo red (CR), and methylene blue (MB) with NaBH4 in the presence of Au/Fe3O4 catalyst was monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The initial reaction rate constant calculated from the change in characteristic peak absorptions of 2,4-dinitrophenol was 3.97×10-3 s-1, while the reaction rate constants for the degradation of CR and MB were 9.72×10-3 s-1 and 14.25×10-3 s-1 respectively. After 5 cycles, Au/Fe3O4 microparticles preserved 99 % of the reaction rate constant, exhibiting considerable recycling efficiency in the reduction of nitro groups.

Abstract
As the second leading cause of death worldwide, neoplastic diseases are one of the biggest challenges for public health care. Contemporary medicine seeks potential tools for fighting cancer within nanomedicine, as various nanomaterials can be used for both diagnostics and therapies. Among those of particular interest are superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), due to their unique magnetic properties,. However, while the number of new SPIONs, suitably modified and functionalized, designed for medical purposes, has been gradually increasing, it has not yet been translated into the number of approved clinical solutions. The presented review covers various issues related to SPIONs of potential theranostic applications. It refers to structural considerations (the nanoparticle core, most often used modifications and functionalizations) and the ways of characterizing newly designed nanoparticles. The discussion about the phenomenon of protein corona formation leads to the conclusion that the scarcity of proper tools to investigate the interactions between SPIONs and human serum proteins is the reason for difficulties in introducing them into clinical applications. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding the mechanism behind the protein corona formation, as it has a crucial impact on the effectiveness of designed SPIONs in the physiological environment.

Abstract
Pandemics like SARS-Cov-2 very frequently have their origin in different animals and in particular herds of camels could be a source of zoonotic diseases. This study took advantage on a highly sensitive and adaptable method for the fast and reliable detection of viral antibodies in camels using low-cost equipment. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) have high variability in their functionalization with different peptides and proteins. We confirm that 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES)-coated MNP could be functionalized with viral proteins. The protein loading could be confirmed by simple loading controls using FACS-analysis (p < 0.05). Complementary combination of antigen and antibody yields in a significant signal increase could be proven by both FACS and COMPASS. However, COMPASS needs only a few seconds for the measurement. In COMPASS, the phase φn on selected critical point of the fifth higher harmonic (n = 5th). Here, positive sera display highly significant signal increase over the control or negative sera. Furthermore, a clear distinction could be made in antibody detection as an immune response to closely related viruses (SARS-CoV2 and MERS). Using modified MNPs along with COMPASS offers a fast and reliable method that is less cost intensive than current technologies and offers the possibility to be quickly adapted in case of new occurring viral infections. KEY POINTS: • COMPASS (critical offset magnetic particle spectroscopy) allows the fast detection of antibodies. • Magnetic nanoparticles can be adapted by exchange of the linked bait molecule. • Antibodies could be detected in camel sera without washing steps within seconds.

Abstract
Background Protein Corona (PC) of nanoparticles is a structure which composed of one or more layers of proteins adsorbed on the surface of nanomaterials, and the formation of PC is a universal process of spontaneous randomness. We take advantage of the formation principle of the PC, developed a simple and efficient method for label protein to nanoparticles. Methods The artificialed protein corona (APC) on the surface of nanoparticles was synthesized via the artificialed methods of desolvation aggregation and crosslinking with control. Results The dosage of precipitator and the ratio of protein to magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs)(particle size: 3 nm) were optimized, and the core-shell nanoparticles with narrow particle size (particle size: 10 nm) distribution were obtained. The MNPs with APC were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Additionally, a hemolysis test on prepared MNPs was conducted with APC. The presence of APC coating on the surface of MNPs showed an improving effect to reduce the cytotoxicity. Cellular toxicity of MNPs with APC was also investigated on HFF1 cell lines. And the cells survival in the presence of APC coated MNPs and display neither reduced metabolism nor cytostatic effect. The functional test of the MNPs with APC showed that proteins can be modified and labeled onto magnetic nanoparticles and retain their original activity. Conclusions This marking method is gentle and effective. And the properties of the APC propose MNPs as a promising candidate for multifunctional biomedical applications.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. They are associated with alcohol and tobacco consumption, as well as infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV). Therapeutic options include radiochemotherapy, surgery or chemotherapy. Nanoparticles are becoming more and more important in medicine. They can be used diagnostically, but also therapeutically. In order to provide therapeutic alternatives in the treatment of HNSCC, the effect of citrate-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Citrate-SPIONs) and gold-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Au-SPIONs) in combination with ionizing irradiation (IR) on two HPV positive and two HPV negative HNSCC and healthy fibroblasts and keratinocytes cell lines were tested. Effects on apoptosis and necrosis were analyzed by using flow cytometry. Cell survival studies were performed with a colony formation assay. To better understand where the SPIONs interact, light microscopy images and immunofluorescence studies were performed. The HNSCC and healthy cell lines showed different responses to the investigated SPIONs. The cytotoxic effects of SPIONs, in combination with IR, are dependent on the type of SPIONs, the dose administered and the cell type treated. They are independent of HPV status. Reasons for the different cytotoxic effect are probably the different compositions of the SPIONs and the related different interaction of the SPIONs intracellularly and paramembranously, which lead to different strong formations of double strand breaks.

Abstract
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have shown great research value in the field of nerve regeneration because of their characteristics of satisfactory material properties and their ability to be stimulated by an external magnetic field to enhance the function of all aspects. Nevertheless, the impact of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles on nerve regeneration regulated by macrophage polarization has not been well studied, and it is also not clear whether the introduction of the magnetic field has a further effect. Therefore, mesoporous hollow Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MHFPs) were synthesized. We selected an alternating magnetic field (AMF) because it may confer a stronger effect on MHFPs as compared to a static magnetic field, and then explored the field's ability to induce macrophage polarization. Furthermore, the effects of this regulation on other neuro-associated cells were also explored. Our results suggest that MHFPs can efficiently induce polarization of macrophages at the concentration of 40 μg mL-1, upregulate the expression of related genes and cytokines, and further promote the proliferation of neural stem cells and the subsequent migration of vascular endothelial cells. These effects were significantly enhanced after the application of an AMF. This work also showed that the internalization of particles is the starting point for polarization regulation.

Abstract
Magnetic gold nanoparticles (mGNP) have become a great interest of research for nanomaterial scientists because of their significant magnetic and plasmonic properties applicable in biomedical applications. Various synthetic approaches and surface modification techniques have been used for mGNP including the most common being the coprecipitation, thermal decomposition, and microemulsion methods in addition to the Brust Schiffrin technique, which involves the reduction of metal precursors in a two-phase system (water and toluene) in the presence of alkanethiol. The hybrid magnetic–plasmonic nanoparticles based on iron core and gold shell are being considered as potential theranostic agents. In this critical review, in addition to future works, we have summarized recent developments for synthesis and surface modification of mGNP with their applications in modern biomedical science such as drug and gene delivery, bioimaging, biosensing, and neuro-regeneration, neuro-degenerative and arthritic disorders. This review includes techniques and biological applications of mGNP majorly based on research from the previous six years.

Abstract
Nanoscience has been considered as one of the most substantial research in modern science. The utilization of nanoparticle (NP) materials provides numerous advantages in biomedical applications due to their unique properties. Among various types of nanoparticles, the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) of iron oxide possess intrinsic features, which have been efficiently exploited for biomedical purposes including drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging, Magnetic-activated cell sorting, nanobiosensors, hyperthermia, and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The size and shape of nanostructures are the main factors affecting the physicochemical features of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, which play an important role in the improvement of MNP properties, and can be controlled by appropriate synthesis strategies. On the other hand, the proper modification and functionalization of the surface of iron oxide nanoparticles have significant effects on the improvement of physicochemical and mechanical features, biocompatibility, stability, and surface activity of MNPs. This review focuses on popular methods of fabrication, beneficial surface coatings with regard to the main required features for their biomedical use, as well as new applications.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite- or calcium phosphate-coated iron oxide nanoparticles have a high potential for use in many biomedical applications. In this study, a co-precipitation method for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite-coated nanoparticles (SPIONHAp), was used. The produced nanoparticles have been characterized by dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, atomic emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results showed a successful synthesis of 190 nm sized particles and their stable coating, resulting in SPIONHAp. Potential cytotoxic effects of SPIONHAp on EL4, THP-1, and Jurkat cells were tested, showing only a minor effect on cell viability at the highest tested concentration (400 µg Fe/mL). The results further showed that hydroxyapatite-coated SPIONs can induce minor TNF-α and IL-6 release by murine macrophages at a concentration of 100 µg Fe/mL. To investigate if and how such particles interact with other substances that modulate the immune response, SPIONHAp-treated macrophages were incubated with LPS (lipopolysaccharides) and dexamethasone. We found that cytokine release in response to these potent pro- and anti-inflammatory agents was modulated in the presence of SPIONHAp. Knowledge of this behavior is important for the management of inflammatory processes following in vivo applications of this type of SPIONs.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide, thus new solutions in anticancer therapies are highly sought after. In this work, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) conjugated with anticancer drugs are synthesized and investigated as potential magnetic drug nanocarriers for local drug delivery and mild magnetic hyperthermia. We have obtained a hybrid system loaded with holmium and anticancer drugs and thoroughly studied it with respect to the size, morphology, surface modifications and magnetic properties, and interactions with the model of biological membranes, cytotoxicity. We present that nanoparticles having a round shape and size 15 nm are successfully stabilized to avoid their agglomeration and modified with doxorubicin or epirubicin within a controlled way. The number of drugs loaded into the SPIONs was confirmed with thermogravimetry. The hybrid based on SPIONs was investigated in touch with model biological membranes within the Langmuir-Blodgett technique, and results show that modified SPION interacts effectively with them. Results obtained with magnetic hyperthermia and biological studies confirm the promising properties of the hybrid towards future cancer cell treatment.
