Abstract
Intracellular nanoparticle degradation affects cell functionality and inhibits MR signals. Four commonly used iron oxide nanoparticles show clear pH-dependent degradation, the extent of which is governed by the nature of the coating material. Lipid-coated particles provide the best resistance and display extensive intracellular clustering, which enhances MR contrast and increases the durability of the label.
