| Abstract | Targeted delivery of aerosols could not only improve efficacy of inhaled drugs but also reduce side effects resulting from their accumulation in healthy tissue. Here we investigated the impact of magnetized aerosols on model drug accumulation and transgene expression in magnetically targeted lung regions of unanesthetized mice.Solutions containing superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and model drugs (fluorescein or complexed plasmid DNA) were nebulized to unanesthetized mice under the influence of an external magnetic gradient directed to the lungs. Drug accumulation and transgene expression was subsequently measured at different time points.We could demonstrate 2–3 fold higher accumulation of the model drug fluorescein and specific transgene expression in lung regions of mice which had been exposed to an external magnetic gradient during nebulization compared to the control mice without any exposure to magnetic gradient.Magnetized aerosols present themselves as an efficient approach for targeted pulmonary delivery of drugs and gene therapeutic agents in order to treat localized diseases of the deeper airways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
