The use of nanomaterials offers many advantages due to their unique properties. They can be used as building blocks for the fabrication of various functional diagnostic systems and agents of therapy. This article focuses on the application of magnetic nanoparticles in biomedicine such as magnetic separation, biosensor, contrast agents for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), local operated hyperthermic treatment of tumors, drug delivery, gene therapy, tissue engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
