From iron oxide nanoparticles towards advanced iron-based inorganic materials designed for biomedical applications
Abstract
In the last decade the progress achieved on the synthesis of inorganic nanostructures has been accompanied by the parallel exploitation of these systems in various fields, among them are biology and medicine. We provide here an overview of the iron-based inorganic nanostructured materials that have been developed and tested in these fields. We will highlight the major concepts on the preparation, physical properties and applications of such nanostructures, starting from the most investigated iron oxide nanoparticles. We will describe then the new generation of inorganic hybrid nanostructures, which are structures that integrate in each nano-object multiple inorganic nanocrystals of different materials. In our discussion we will focus on those works that have provided a sound proof of concept on the potential of the various systems as diagnostic and therapeutic agents.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
