Multimodal highly fluorescent-magnetic nanoplatform to target transferrin receptors in cancer cells

ConclusionsThe prepared BNPs-Tf hold great promise as an effective and specific multimodal, highly fluorescent-magnetic, nanoplatform for fluorescence analyses and T2-weighted images.General significance.This study developed an attractive and versatile multimodal nanoplatform that has potential to be applied in a variety of in vitro and in vivo studies, addressing biological processes, diagnostic, and therapeutics. Moreover, this work opens new possibilities for designing other efficient multimodal nanosystems, considering other biomolecules in their composition able to provide them important functional properties.Graphical abstract
