New Nanoparticles Study Results Reported from University of Fribourg

  2012 MAY 14 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "In this article we present an overview of some of our research in the field of nanoscience," scientists in Fribourg, Switzerland report.

  "By combining two different scientific backgrounds (chemistry and biology), we investigate nanoparticle-cell interactions from different angles. This requires an interdisciplinary approach involving material synthesis and characterization, cell biology (biochemistry) and microscopy," wrote A. Petri-Fink and colleagues, University of Fribourg.

  The researchers concluded: "In particular, we describe the synthesis and magnetic properties of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as well as their behavior in cell culture, evaluate different visualization and detection methods, and investigate the interaction of such magnetic particles with immune cells."

  Petri-Fink and colleagues published their study in Chimia (Nanoparticles and Cells: An Interdisciplinary Approach. Chimia, 2012;66(3):104-109).
