Neutron reflectometry and lung cancer in vitro study of the interaction between mesoporous magnetic nanocarriers and plasma membranes
Summary
Neutron reflectometry, quartz crystal microbalance measurements and cell tests were combined to see whether magnetic nanocarriers (Fe3O4 clusters in a 40 nm mesoporous silica shell) damage cell membranes. Supported DMPC bilayers were left intact even under a magnetic field, and A549 lung cancer cells took up the particles without significant harm over 24 hours.
