TL;DR: This work states that IO nanoparticles possess unique paramagnetic properties, which and generate significant susceptibility effects resulting in strong T2 and T2* contrast, as well as T1 effects at very low concentrations for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is widely used for clinical oncology imaging.

TL;DR: The proposed QB-ICA offers great potential for rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective quantitative detection of analytes in food safety monitoring and is even comparable with or better than the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a new class of MRI contrast agent based on milk casein protein-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (CNIOs) with a core size of 15 nm and hydrodynamic diameter ∼30 nm.

TL;DR: At 24 hours after systemic administration of ScFvEGFR-IONPs into mice bearing EGFR-positive breast cancer 4T1 mouse mammary tumors, magnetic resonance imaging revealed signal reduction in the tumor as a result of the accumulation of the targeted IONPs.

TL;DR: In this article, a versatile diblock copolymer, poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(γ-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane) (PEO-b-PγMPS), was used to prepare nanocrystals such as iron oxide nanoparticles or quantum dots, with either a single core or multi-core cluster, for biomedical applications.
