Different compositions of bioactive glass nanoparticles have been investigated for various applications, including cancer treatment, drug delivery, bone regeneration, etc. However, targeting of bioactive glass nanoparticles to desired tissues still remains to be a challenge. In this research, sol-gel synthesized bioactive glass and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were combined using two different approaches to obtain magnetic bioactive glass nanoparticle composites. In the first approach SPIONs were embedded into the bioactive glass nanoparticles (SEBG), and in the second approach SPIONs were deposited onto them as a thin shell (SDBG). The dimensions of the nanoparticles were calculated to be 180 ± 9 and 420 ± 10 nm for SEBG and SDBG, respectively. The magnetizations of the nanoparticles were measured to be 4 and 9 emu/g for SEBG and SDBG, respectively. In vitro bioactivity experiments showed hydroxyapatite formation on both nanoparticles after soaking them in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 14 days. Additionally, bone cells proliferated and remained viable up to 7 days of culture in vitro upon their interaction with SEBG and SDBG nanoparticles. Similar viability results were also observed once experiments were carried out in the presence of 0.4T external static magnetic field to better mimic cellular response under magnetic targeting. Cumulatively, these results demonstrated that the synthesized magnetic bioactive glass nanoparticles were superparamagnetic, promoted bone cell viability independent of the presence of magnetic field and exhibited bioactive properties.

Uslu, Ece; Garipcan, Bora; Ercan, Batur (Wiley, 2020-10-01)
Tantalum possesses remarkable chemical and mechanical properties, and thus it is considered to be one of the next generation implant materials. However, the biological properties of tantalum remain to be improved for its use in tissue engineering applications. To enhance its cellular interactions, implants made of tantalum could be modified to obtain nanofeatured surfaces via the electrochemical anodization process. In this study, anodization parameters were adjusted to obtain a nanoporous surface morpholog...

Targeted delivery of CPG-oligodeoxynucleotide to breast cancer cells by poly-amidoamine dendrimer-modified magnetic nanoparticles
Taghavi Pourianazar, Negar; Gündüz, Ufuk; Gündüz, Güngör; Department of Biotechnology (2016)
One major application of nanotechnology in cancer treatment involves designing nanoparticles to deliver drugs, oligonucleotides, and genes to cancer cells. Nanoparticles should be engineered so that they could target and destroy tumor cells with minimal damage to healthy tissues. This research aims to develop an appropriate and efficient nanocarrier, having the ability of interacting with and delivering CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) to tumor cells. CpG-ODNs activate Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which...
