Our paper on superparamagnetic microspheres published in Scientific Reports
Our paper entitled: “Facile preparation of multifunctional superparamagnetic PHBV microspheres containing SPIONs for biomedical applications” has been published in Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group): Li, W., et al., Facile preparation of multifunctional superparamagnetic PHBV microspheres containing SPIONs for biomedical applications, Scientific Reports 6, Article number: 23140 (2016), doi:10.1038/srep23140. The research was a collaboration between Dr Wei Li and Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini (Institute of Biomaterials, FAU), Dr. Yaping Ding (Institute of Polymer Materials, FAU), Mr Jan Zaloga, Dr. Christina Janko and Prof. Christoph Alexiou (Section for Experimental Oncology and Nanomedicine (SEON), University Hospital Erlangen), Yufang Liu and Prof. Monika Pischetsrieder (Henriette Schmidt-Burkhardt Chair of Food Chemistry, FAU). The study presents a new family of biocompatible and biodegradable polymer microspheres incorporating superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles which exhibit drug delivery capability being promising for biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery and MRI.
