Magnetic Nano- and Microparticles in Life Sciences and Medical Imaging

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Magnetic Nanoheterostructures

Part of the book series: Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology ((NANOMED))

Abstract

The rapidly growing interest in biology and medicine is due to ongoing progress in noninvasive in vitro or in vivo diagnosis and imaging or treatment of various diseases, including monitoring of the survival, migration, and fate of transplanted cells over the long-term. This requires the use of contrast agents, drug delivery vehicles, and separation media often based on magnetic nanoparticles and/or microspheres. This chapter is going to describe approaches to their development at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry in Prague, the Czech Republic, during the last twenty-five years.
