Active targeting of tumors by nanomaterials favors early diagnosis and the reduction of harsh side effects of chemotherapeuticals. We synthesized magnetic nanoparticles (64 nm; -40 mV) suspended in a magnetic fluid (MF) and decorated them with anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (MFCEA; 144 nm; -39 mV). MF and MFCEA nanoparticles were successfully radiol...

Breast Cancer (BC) is a female malignancy with a high mortality rate. Novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers are valuable for reducing BC mortality. Our study is designed to undrape the precise role of the LINC00466/miR-4731-5p/EPHA2 axis in BC. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) sequencing dataset was utilized to compare the levels of LINC00466. T...
