Magnetotactic bacteria derive their magnetic orientation from magnetosomes, which are
unique organelles that contain nanometre-sized crystals of magnetic iron minerals. Although …

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are of great scientific interest because of the size effect
associated with their magnetic properties and, even more so, because of their wide-ranging …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize magnetosomes, which are defined as
intracellular nanocrystals of the magnetic minerals magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4) …

Microbe‐mediated mineralization is ubiquitous in nature, involving bacteria, fungi, viruses,
and algae. These mineralization processes comprise calcification, silicification, and iron …

Photothermometric sensing strategies as a powerful point-of-care testing (POCT) method
have attracted great interest in various chem/biosensing fields. Though considerable …

Biologically induced and controlled mineralization of metals promotes the development of
protective structures to shield cells from thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet stresses. Metal …

Providing appropriate means for heat generation by low intratumoral nanoparticle
concentrations is a major challenge for cancer nanotherapy. Here we propose RGD-tagged …

We investigate here the potential of single step production of genetically engineered
magnetosomes, bacterial biogenic iron-oxide nanoparticles embedded in a lipid vesicle, as …

We hereby present experimental and theoretical insights on the use of biomineralized
magnetite nanoparticles, called magnetosomes, as heat nanoinductors in the magnetic …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are aquatic microorganisms that are able to biomineralize
membrane-enclosed magnetic nanoparticles called magnetosomes. Inside the MTB …
