When nanoparticles interact with cells, the possible cellular responses to the particles depend on an array of parameters, in both particle and biological aspects. On the one hand, the physicochemical properties of the particles (e.g., material, size, shape, and surface charge) are known to play a key role in particle-cell interactions. On the other hand, it has been shown that prior to coming...

The emerging importance of nanoparticle technology, including iron oxide nanoparticles for monitoring development, progression, and treatment of inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, drives development of imaging techniques. Studies require an imaging protocol that is sensitive and quantifiable for the detection of iron oxide over a wide range of concentrations. Conventional signal loss...

Understanding how nanoparticles may affect immune responses is an essential prerequisite to developing novel clinical applications. To investigate nanoparticle-dependent outcomes on immune responses, dendritic cells (DCs) were treated with model biomedical poly(vinylalcohol)-coated super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (PVA-SPIONs). PVA-SPIONs uptake by human monocyte-derived DCs (MDDCs)...
