The engineered magnetic polymeric nanocapsules m-NCs are ~200 nm in size with negative Zeta potential and shown to be spherical in shape. The loading efficiency of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in the m-NC was ~100%. Up to ~3- and ~2.2-fold increase in tumour uptake at 1 and 24 h was achieved, when a static magnetic field was applied to the tumour for 1 hour. m-NCs, with multiple imaging probes (e.g. indocyanine green, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and indium-111), were capable of triple-modal imaging (fluorescence/magnetic resonance/nuclear imaging) in vivo. Using triple-modal imaging is to overcome the intrinsic limitations of single modality imaging and provides complementary information on the spatial distribution of the nanocarrier within the tumour. The significant findings of this study could open up new research perspectives in using novel magnetically-responsive nanomaterials in magnetic-drug targeting combined with multi-modal imaging. date: 2016-01-01 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.7150/thno.11918 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC4737722 language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1105894 doi: 10.7150/thno.11918 pii: thnov06p0342 lyricists_name: Pankhurst, Quentin lyricists_name: Southern, Paul lyricists_id: QAPAN40 lyricists_id: PJDSO74 full_text_status: public publication: Theranostics volume: 6 number: 3 pagerange: 342-356 event_location: Australia issn: 1838-7640 citation: Bai, J; Wang, JT; Rubio, N; Protti, A; Heidari, H; Elgogary, R; Southern, P; ...
