Iron oxide nanoparticles becoming tools for brain tumour imaging and treatment

Tiny particles of iron oxide could become tools for simultaneous tumour imaging and treatment, because of their magnetic properties and toxic effects against brain cancer cells. In mice, researchers from Emory University School of Medicine have demonstrated how these particles can deliver antibodies to implanted brain tumours, while enhancing tumour visibility via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
