Methionine-mediated synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles and functionalization with gold quantum dots for theranostic applications
Biocompatible superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) through smart chemical functionalization of their surface with fluorescent species, therapeutic proteins, antibiotics, and aptamers offer remarkable potential for diagnosis and therapy of disease sites at their initial stage of growth. S...
