Article Synopsis
- - Atherosclerosis is a serious disease that can lead to heart attacks and strokes, but diagnosing vulnerable plaques is difficult because current methods lack accuracy and specificity.
- - New technologies are being developed using customized nanoparticles for noninvasive imaging of atherosclerotic plaques, which can improve diagnosis and prediction of plaque rupture risk.
- - Our research focuses on comparing the imaging effectiveness of different nanoparticles, demonstrating that Gd (III)-doped amorphous calcium carbonate nanoparticles are promising for targeted imaging of atherosclerosis, particularly when functionalized with specific ligands for targeting calcifications and inflammation.
Manganese ferrite nanoparticles display interesting features in bioimaging and catalytic therapies. They have been recently used in theranostics as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and as catalase-mimicking nanozymes for hypoxia alleviation. These promising applications encourage the development of novel synthetic procedures to enhance the bioimaging and catalytic properties of these nanomaterials simultaneously.
