Abstract:
Immobilization of CD34 antibody on ferroferric oxide magnetic nanoparticles was achieved by the traditional carboxyl-amine conjugation reaction. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nanoparticle size analysis (dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscope), and other testing methods were used to detect the surface modified magnetic nanoparticles. The endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were cultured with the surface modified magnetic nanoparticles to evaluate cell compatibility and the combination effect of nanoparticles on EPCs in a short period of time. Directional guide of the surface modified magnetic nanoparticles to EPCs was evaluated under applied magnetic field and simulated dynamic flow condition. The results showed that the magnetic nanoparticles were successfully modified with CD34 antibody, which had good cell compatibility within a certain range of the nanoparticle concentrations. The surface modified nanoparticles can combine with EPCs effectively in a short time, and those nanoparticles combined EPCs can be directional guided under the magnetic field in the dynamic flow environment.

Introduction to Cellular Respiration
ATP stores energy in chemical bonds that can be quickly released when needed. Cells produce energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. Although much of the energy from cellular respiration is released as heat, some of it is used to make ATP.
During cellular respiration, several...

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
