Article Synopsis
- The growing use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in biomedical applications is driving the need for efficient and controlled production methods, with microbial synthesis being a promising alternative to traditional chemical methods.
- Microbial production offers benefits such as better synthesis uniformity, reduced costs, and environmental safety, but it also presents unique challenges that need to be addressed, like selecting the right bacteria and optimizing production conditions.
- This mini-review discusses various aspects of microbial MNP synthesis, including the types of organisms used, culturing techniques, nanoparticle properties, yield optimization, and challenges along with potential solutions.
Magnetic and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are emerging as promising candidates for various applications in biology and medicine, and especially in oncology. These applications, however, require that a specific set of physical, chemical, and biological properties be combined in a given sample of nanoparticles for them to act as intended. Some of these properties are fundamental: They strictly determine the nanoparticles' behavior both in vitro and in vivo.
