Magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites for remote controlled therapies

This review highlights the uses of MNPs for controlled release therapies. A) Drug delivery applications are divided into i) controlled drug release from a system containing MNPs upon exposure to an alternating or static magnetic field and ii) magnetic guidance. B) Thermal therapy can be remotely controlled for i) local applications or ii) nanoscale heating applications. C) Thermal therapy is often administered in combination with a secondary treatment such as i) a therapeutic or ii) radiation.306
