Uptake And Intracellular Distribution Of Functionalized Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Iron oxide Nanoparticles represents promising nanocarrier for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), targeted drug and gene delivery. In our study we investigated the interaction between lung alveolar epithelial cells and iron oxide NPs coated with L‐Dihydroxyphenylalanina (L‐Dopa)‐TRITC. Our data suggest that particles crossed the plasma membrane with an energy‐dependent process.
