    Abstract Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), particularly made of iron oxides, have been extensively studied as diagnostic imaging agents and therapeutic delivery vehicles. In this review, special emphasis is set on the 'recent advancements of drug-conjugated MNPs used for therapeutic applications'. The most prevalent preparation methods and chemical functionalization strategies required for translational biomedical nanoformulations are outlined. Particular attention is, then, devoted to the tailored conjugation of drugs to the MNP carrier according to either noncovalent or covalent attachments, with advantages and drawbacks of both pathways conferred. Notable examples are presented to demonstrate the advantages of MNPs in respective drug-delivery applications. Understanding of the preparation, conjugation and delivery processes will definitely bring, in the next decades, a novel magneto-nanovehicle for effective theranostics.

    Abstract Significant preclinical and clinical research has explored the use of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) for medical theranostics. Herein, we provide an overview of the optimal 'design-to-perform' MNPs used in cancer therapeutics, specifically focusing on magnetic hyperthermia, magnetic drug targeting, and targeting delivery. An account of the progress made in the clinic using MNPs is then analyzed. We place special emphasis on past and present magnetic nanoformulations used in clinical settings or yet to be clinically approved. Regrettably, as of now, no MNP drug delivery system is employed in the clinic. Thus, identifying current limitations, misconceptions and challenges will definitely impact the clinical success of MNP delivery theranostic systems and their promising future potential in medicine.

    Abstract Biological samples usually require cumbersome preparation steps before SEM imaging. Here we propose a simple, fast and inexpensive method to prepare and visualize biological cell culture samples in a few easy steps. We have tested this method with success on several adherent breast cancer and non-adherent leukemia cell lines. This method gives results comparable to other well-established techniques, and it can be convenient in day-to-day biological sample preparation for SEM imaging.•An easy and rapid method to visualize biological specimens under SEM.•Cells are grown on carbon tapes and gold coated.•Air drying without compromising the image quality.

    Abstract COVID-19 has resulted in a pandemic that aggravated the world's healthcare systems, economies, and education, and caused millions of global deaths. Until now, there has been no specific, reliable, and effective treatment to combat the virus and its variants. The current standard tedious PCR-based tests have limitations in terms of sensitivity, specificity, turnaround time, and false negative results. Thus, an alternative, rapid, accurate, and sensitive diagnostic tool that can detect viral particles, without the need for amplification or viral replication, is central to infectious disease surveillance. Here, we report MICaFVi (

    Abstract This work reports the fabrication of iron oxide mesoporous magnetic nanostructures (IO-MMNs) via the nano-replication method using acid-prepared mesoporous spheres (APMS) as the rigid silica host and iron (III) nitrate as the iron precursor. The obtained nanosized mesostructures were fully characterized by SEM, TEM, DLS, FTIR, XRD, VSM, and nitrogen physisorption. IO-MMNs exhibited relatively high surface areas and large pore volumes (

    Abstract Over the past decade, diagnostics and therapeutics have changed gradually towards the use of more specific and targeted approaches. The most profound impact has been in the nanotechnology sectors, where an explosion in directing biomolecules to specific biomarkers has illustrated great potentials not only in detection but also in targeted therapy. Increased knowledge of the diseases at the molecular level catalyzed a shift towards identifying new biological indicators. In particular, carbohydrate-mediated molecular recognitions using nano-vehicles are likely to increasingly affect medicine opening a new area of biomedical applications. This article provides an overview of the recent progress made in recruiting the "sugar code" functionalized on various nano-platforms to decipher cellular information for both in vitro and in vivo applications. Today's glyco-technologies are enabling better detection with great therapeutic potentials. Tomorrow they are likely to bring a full understanding of the "cell-glyconanomaterial bio-conversation" where major biomedical problems will be overcome translating insights from the "glyco-nanoworld" into clinical practice.

    Abstract The preparation of mesoporous iron oxides with controllable physiochemical properties for effective therapeutic drug delivery remains a formidable challenge. Herein, iron oxide mesoporous magnetic microparticles (IO-MMMs) were prepared by a modified reverse hard-templating approach using, for the first time, acid-prepared mesoporous spheres (APMS) as the hard silica template. The obtained mesostructures exhibited remarkably high surface area and large pore volumes (S
