Magnetosomes and Magnetosome Mimics: Preparation, Cancer Cell Uptake and Functionalization for Future Cancer Therapies

Magnetosomes and Magnetosome Mimics: Preparation, Cancer Cell Uptake and Functionalization for Future Cancer Therapies

Magnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) are heralded as model vehicles for nanomedicine, particularly cancer therapeutics. However, there are many methods of synthesizing different sized and coated MNP, which may affect their performance as nanomedicines. Magnetosomes are naturally occurring, lipid-c...
