title: Recent development and application of magnetic nanoparticles for cell labeling and imaging.
abstract: Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted extensive interest as novel contrast agents for biomedical imaging owing to their capability of deep-tissue imaging, non-invasiveness and low toxicity. This mini-review will provide an overview on the recent synthesis methods, influencing factors and potential applications of magentic nanoparticles for cell labeling and imaging.
