MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLE HYPERTHERMIA IN CANCER TREATMENT

Andrew J. Giustini, Alicia A. Petryk, Shiraz M. Cassim et al. · 1 Mar 2010

The activation of magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) by an alternating magnetic field (AMF) is currently being explored as technique for targeted therapeutic heating of tumors. Various types of superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic particles, with different coatings and targeting agents, allow for tumor site and type specificity. Magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia is also being studied as an adjuvant to…

CYTOTOXICITY AND CELLULAR UPTAKE OF CELLULOSE NANOCRYSTALS

Shuping Dong, Anjali Hirani, Katelyn Rose Colacino et al. · 1 Sep 2012

There is growing evidence that filamentous nanoparticles offer advantages over spherical ones in drug delivery applications. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of rod-like, plant-derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) for nanomedical uses. Besides a nonspherical morphology, their facile bioconjugation, surface hydrophilicity and small size render CNCs promising drug carriers. The cytotoxicity of…

LIPID–POLYMER HYBRID NANOPARTICLES: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATIONS

Li Zhang, Liangfang Zhang · 1 Mar 2010

Nanotechnology has been extensively explored in the past decade to develop a myriad of functional nanostructures to facilitate the delivery of therapeutic and imaging agents for various medical applications. Liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles represent two primary delivery vehicles that are currently under investigation. While many advantages of these two particle platforms have been disclosed, some…

MULTIFUNCTIONAL FULLERENE- AND METALLOFULLERENE-BASED NANOBIOMATERIALS

Gaurav Lalwani, Balaji Sitharaman · 25 Jun 2013

Recent advances in nanotechnology have enabled the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials suitable for applications in the field of biology and medicine. Due to their unique physico-chemical properties, carbon-based nanomaterials such as fullerenes, metallofullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene have been widely investigated as multifunctional materials for applications in tissue engineering, molecular imaging, therapeutics, drug delivery…

THE CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY OF GOLD NANOPARTICLE-MEDIATED PHOTOTHERMAL THERAPY: PROMISES AND CHALLENGES

Rita Cabral, Pedro V. Baptista · 20 May 2013

Under laser radiation, cells labeled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are believed to suffer thermal damage due to the transfer of the absorbed light from the AuNPs to the cells. This process, which involves complex mechanisms such as the rapid electron–phonon decay in the AuNPs , followed by phonon–phonon relaxation, culminates in the localized heating of…

Nano LIFE template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Nano LIFE format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Nano LIFE template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official World Scientific format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Nano LIFE use?
Nano LIFE uses Superscript numbered (World Scientific) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Nano LIFE 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Nano LIFE?
No. DocuGuru generates the ws-ijmpa LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a World Scientific-ready Nano LIFE document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Nano LIFE template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Nano LIFE format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Nano LIFE?
Nano LIFE is a physics journal published by World Scientific. DocuGuru's Nano LIFE template matches World Scientific's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Nano LIFE PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Nano LIFE template (the ws-ijmpa class) that is ready to submit to World Scientific, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Nano LIFE template cost?
You can start writing in the Nano LIFE template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Nano LIFE PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
