Gadolinium metallo nanocongregates as potential magnetosensors for detecting early stage cancers
- Nanotechnology Application Centre, University of Allahabad, Allahabad 211002 (India)
Gadolinium chelates and gadolinium based inorganic nanoparticles have been extensively studied, because of the high magnetic moment of gadolinium. Here, metallic gadolinium nanocongregates have been developed. Upon injecting these nanoparticles in the mice, they initially circulate in the blood stream and are localized at the cancer site, which could be visualized upon application of magnetic field hence acting as small magnetic nanosensors searching for even small cancers, detecting cancers at a very early stage.
