A. Paramagnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs). Exposing the suspension of PMNPs to powerful magnet resulted in the accumulation of the brown particles to the location were the magnetic field was applied. Other drugs have been loaded to PMNP's (e.g. adriamycin, curcumin and melanin). B1. Brown color solution of melanin-PMNPs in PBS buffer (without magnetic field). B2. Melanin-PMNPs suspended in PBS buffer with a magnetic field applied. Pictures B1 and B2 were taken with melanin-PMNPs, as they are darken brown and easier to photograph. C. Hamster window chamber model. Implanted titanium frames on the dorsal skinfold for microvascular studies (18 mm window diameter). Intact tissue is studied in the absence of surgical trauma or anesthesia. Catheters are implanted and exteriorized at the dorsal side and secured to the frames. A cylindrical strong magnet was used to localize the effects of the L35-PMNM to the dorsal window area.
