Albumin coating of magnetic nanoparticles for imaging, tracking and delivery through biological barriers

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: : they successfully enter 3D breast tumor spheroids and show measurable translocation across an enterocyte monolayer model. These findings highlight the potential of albumin-coated magnetic zinc ferrite nanoparticles as multifunctional carriers for targeted delivery and biomedical imaging, and support the relevance of 3D models for assessing nanoparticle transport and therapeutic efficacy.
