Special Issue: Ceramic and Metallic Biomaterials Nanoparticles for Applications in Medical Sciences.

Another conclusion of this study showed that the use of Ni nanoparticles allows the production of purer cell populations than the use of spherical nanoparticles. The authors demonstrated that functionalized Ni nanoparticles in the shape of nanowires have a higher cell separation efficiency compared with magnetic nanoparticles with spherical shape, even at a concentration 60 times lower. The effectiveness of cell separation with Ni nanoparticles compared to that achieved with magnetic nanoparticles was also studied by Gao et al. [[22]]. The encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticles in an organic compound layer increases the circulation time of nanoparticles in the body, making the nanomaterials biocompatible [[15]].
