Abstract
Surface functionalization of human red blood cells (hRBCs) with fluorescent and magnetic silica core-shell nanoparticles is used to design a carrier suitable for multimodal imaging with a long circulating time. The coated magnetic hRBCs show no hemolytic activity, while the advantage of the affinity of proteins for silica allows a further coating.
