PEGylated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in the Liver
2026-08-12
This ACS Nano study systematically separates the effects of iron oxide nanoparticle size and PEG chain length on hepatic distribution and cell-specific uptake. Its combination of 99mTc SPECT/CT with primary liver-cell assays shows that hepatocytes and stellate cells can contribute substantially to uptake, challenging the assumption that Kupffer cells dominate nanoparticle clearance.
