Magnetic heating
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are really interesting for biomedical applications due to their ability to respond to external magnetic fields which allow their remotely manipulation for targeting, cell separation, drug delivery, and of course also as nanoHeaters to destroy the tumors. The requirements to use MNPs for clinical purposes are their stability in biological environments and their low toxicity, and also their appropriate magnetic properties to be remotely activated by an external magnetic field.
