Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites are promising highly functionalizable tools for cancer diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. Studying magnetic nanospecies’ structural features and coating procedures and stability opens up excellent prospects for multifunctional and bioinspired materials and devices. The influence of magnetic fields can be used as an exogenous stimulus to induce changes in the physical, chemical, and structural properties. Therefore, magnetic nanocomposites synthesis, conjugation strategies to apply bioinspired construction for diagnosis, and simultaneous therapy have been a feature of the last several years. New prospects in the theranostics area will lead to obtaining a promising tool for clinics.

This Special Issue is focused on the most recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and optimization of magnetic nanoparticle properties, surface coating for enhanced stability, biocompatibility, and toxicity in various areas such as diagnostics, imaging, drug–gene delivery, and therapy of cancer.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Magnetochemistry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Magnetic nanoparticles have gained attention as a potential structure for therapy and diagnosing oncological diseases. The key property of the magnetic nanoparticles is the ability to respond to an external magnetic field. It is known that magnetofection causes an increase in the cellular uptake of RNA and DNA in complexes with magnetic nanoparticles in the presence of a permanent magnetic field. However, the influence of a dynamic magnetic field on the internalization of MNPs is not clear. In this work, we propose the idea that applying external low-frequency dynamic magnetic fields may decrease the cellular uptake, such as macrophages and malignant neuroblastoma. Using fluorescence microscopy and atomic emission spectroscopy, we found that oscillating magnetic fields decreased the cellular uptake of magnetic nanoparticles compared to untreated cells by up to 46%. In SH-SY5Y tumor cells and macrophage RAW264.7 cells, the absolute values of Fe per cell differed by 0.10 pg/cell and 0.33 pg/cell between treated and untreated cells, respectively. These results can be applied in the control of the cellular uptake in different areas of biomedicine. Full article
