Abstract
There is a critical need for novel approaches to translate cell therapy and regenerative medicine to clinical practice. Magnetic cell targeting with site specificity has started to open avenues in these fields as a potential therapeutic platform. Magnetic targeting is gaining popularity in the field of biomedicine due to its ability to concentrate and retain at a target site while minimizing deleterious effects at off-target sites. It is regarded as a relatively straightforward and safe approach for a wide range of therapeutic applications. This review discusses the latest advancements and approaches in magnetic cell targeting using endocytosed and surface-bound magnetic nanoparticles as well as in vivo tracking using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The most common form of magnetic nanoparticles is superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION). The biodegradable and biocompatible properties of these magnetically responsive particles and capacity for rapid endocytosis into cells make them a breakthrough in targeted therapy. This review further discusses specific applications of magnetic targeting approaches in cardiovascular tissue engineering including myocardial regeneration, therapeutic angiogenesis, and endothelialization of implantable cardiovascular devices.

Abstract
Magnetic Drug Targeting (MDT) is of particular interest to researchers because of its good loading efficiency, targeting accuracy, and versatile use in vivo. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a global chronic disease with a high mortality rate, and the development of more precise and effective treatments is imminent. A growing number of studies have begun to explore the feasibility of MDT in CVD, but an up-to-date systematic summary is still lacking. This review discusses the current research status of MDT from guiding magnetic fields, magnetic nanocarriers, delivery channels, drug release control, and safety assessment. The current application status of MDT in CVD is also critically introduced. On this basis, new insights into the existing problems and future optimization directions of MDT are further highlighted.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is the most prominent route in cancer therapy for prolonging the lifespan of cancer patients. However, its non-target specificity and the resulting off-target cytotoxicities have been reported. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies using magnetic nanocomposites (MNCs) for magnetothermal chemotherapy may potentially improve the therapeutic outcome by increasing the target selectivity. In this review, magnetic hyperthermia therapy and magnetic targeting using drug-loaded MNCs are revisited, focusing on magnetism, the fabrication and structures of magnetic nanoparticles, surface modifications, biocompatible coating, shape, size, and other important physicochemical properties of MNCs, along with the parameters of the hyperthermia therapy and external magnetic field. Due to the limited drug-loading capacity and low biocompatibility, the use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as drug delivery system has lost traction. In contrast, MNCs show higher biocompatibility, multifunctional physicochemical properties, high drug encapsulation, and multi-stages of controlled release for localized synergistic chemo-thermotherapy. Further, combining various forms of magnetic cores and pH-sensitive coating agents can generate a more robust pH, magneto, and thermo-responsive drug delivery system. Thus, MNCs are ideal candidate as smart and remotely guided drug delivery system due to a) their magneto effects and guide-ability by the external magnetic fields, b) on-demand drug release performance, and c) thermo-chemosensitization under an applied alternating magnetic field where the tumor is selectively incinerated without harming surrounding non-tumor tissues. Given the important effects of synthesis methods, surface modifications, and coating of MNCs on their anticancer properties, we reviewed the most recent studies on magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug delivery systems in cancer therapy, and magnetothermal chemotherapy to provide insights on the current development of MNC-based anticancer nanocarrier.

Abstract
Bioactive natural products (BNPs) are the marrow of medicinal plants, which are the secondary metabolites of organisms and have been the most famous drug discovery database. Bioactive natural products are famous for their enormous number and great safety in medical applications. However, BNPs are troubled by their poor druggability compared with synthesis drugs and are challenged as medicine (only a few BNPs are applied in clinical settings). In order to find a reasonable solution to improving the druggability of BNPs, this review summarizes their bioactive nature based on the enormous pharmacological research and tries to explain the reasons for the poor druggability of BNPs. And then focused on the boosting research on BNPs loaded drug delivery systems, this review further concludes the advantages of drug delivery systems on the druggability improvement of BNPs from the perspective of their bioactive nature, discusses why BNPs need drug delivery systems, and predicts the next direction.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a significant cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and usually brings severe public health consequences. Adipose-derived endothelial progenitor cell (AdEPCs) transplantation is beneficial for AKI but suffers from low delivery efficiency. This study was conducted to explore the protective effects of magnetically delivered AdEPCs on the repair of renal IRI. Two types of magnetic delivery methods, namely the endocytosis magnetization (EM) method and the immunomagnetic (IM) method were fabricated using PEG@Fe3O4 and CD133@Fe3O4, and their cytotoxicities in AdEPCs were assessed. In the renal IRI rat model, magnetic AdEPCs were injected via the tail vein and a magnet was placed beside the injured kidney for magnetic guidance. The distribution of transplanted AdEPCs, renal function, and tubular damage were evaluated. Our results suggested that CD133@Fe3O4 had the minimum negative effects on the proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and migration of AdEPCs compared with PEG@Fe3O4. Renal magnetic guidance could significantly enhance the transplantation efficiency and the therapeutic outcomes of AdEPCs-PEG@Fe3O4 and AdEPCs-CD133@Fe3O4 in the injured kidneys. However, under renal magnetic guidance, AdEPCs-CD133@Fe3O4 had stronger therapeutic effects than PEG@Fe3O4 after renal IRI. The immunomagnetic delivery of AdEPCs with CD133@Fe3O4 could be a promising therapeutic strategy for renal IRI.

Effect of rice straw biochar on three different levels of Cd-contaminated soils: Cd availability, soil properties, and microbial communities. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 301:134551.

Abstract
Biochar can be effective in immobilizing soil cadmium (Cd), but the difference in its immobilization mechanisms for different levels of Cd-contaminated soils was overlooked. In this study, rice straw biochar (BC) was added to three Cd-contaminated soils following 180 days of incubation, in the process of which the dynamic changes of Cd speciation, soil properties and microbial community diversity were determined. BC could significantly reduce the ratio of acid-soluble in the three soils, especially in light and medium Cd-contaminated soils by more than 20%. The addition of biochar could significantly increase the soil pH, soil organic matter, cation exchange capacity, and the activities of catalase, but decrease the richness and diversity of bacterial communities in all soils. The associations between microbial communities were inhibited in light and medium Cd-contaminated soils, but promoted in heavy Cd-contaminated soils. Furthermore, the main pathway of BC effect on soil Cd availability was also analyzed by partial least squares model (PLS-PM), which indicated that BC indirectly reduced Cd availability mainly by regulating the microbial community in light Cd-contaminated soil, whereas BC directly reduced Cd availability primarily by its own adsorption in medium and heavy Cd-contaminated soils. This research deepened understanding of the mechanisms of stabilization of Cd by biochar for agricultural soils.

Abstract
The continuously increasing bacterial resistance has become a big threat to public health worldwide, which makes it urgent to develop innovative antibacterial strategies. Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems are considered as promising strategies in combating bacterial infections which are expected to improve the therapeutic efficacy and minimize the side effects. Unfortunately, the conventional nanodrug delivery systems always suffer from practical dilemmas, including incomplete and slow drug release, insufficient accumulation in infected sites, and weak biofilm penetration ability. Stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms are hence developed to overcome the disadvantages of conventional nanoparticles. In this review, we provide an extensive review of the recent progress of endogenous and exogenous stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms in the antibacterial area, including planktonic bacteria, intracellular bacteria, and bacterial biofilms. Taking advantage of the specific infected microenvironment (pH, enzyme, redox, and toxin), the mechanisms and strategies of the design of endogenous stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms are discussed, with an emphasis on how to improve the therapeutic efficacy and minimize side effects. How to realize controlled drug delivery using exogenous stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms especially light-responsive nanoparticles for improved antibacterial effects is another topic of this review. We especially highlight photothermal-triggered drug delivery systems by the combination of photothermal agents and thermo-responsive materials. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
In recent years, the continuous development of magnetic nanostructures (MNSs) has tremendously promoted both fundamental scientific research and technological applications. Different from the bulk magnet, the systematic engineering on MNSs has brought a great breakthrough in some emerging fields such as the construction of MNSs, the magnetism exploration of multidimensional MNSs, and their potential translational applications. In this review, we give a detailed description of the synthetic strategies of MNSs based on the fundamental features and application potential of MNSs and discuss the recent progress of MNSs in the fields of nanomedicines, advanced nanobiotechnology, catalysis, and electromagnetic wave adsorption (EMWA), aiming to provide guidance for fabrication strategies of MNSs toward diverse applications.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively researched and implemented in biomedicine for more than half a century due to their non-invasive nature, ease of temporal and spatial manipulation, and considerable biocompatibility. However, the complex magnetic behaviour of MNPs is influenced by several parameters (e.g., particle size, shape, composition, core-shell structure, etc.), among which the amount of transition metal doping plays an important factor. For this reason, the doping of ferrite with transition metals has been used as an effective strategy to precisely tailor MNPs to achieve satisfactory performance in biomedical applications. In this review, we first introduced the main properties of coordinated MNPs (including magnetic moment and saturated magnetisation) and provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanistic studies related to the doping of transition metal ions into ferrite to precisely modulate its magnetic properties. We also highlighted the potential mechanisms and recent advances in transition metal ion-doped MNPs (TMNPs) for bioimaging (magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic particle imaging) and tumour therapy (e.g., magneto-mechanical killing, magnetothermal therapy, and drug delivery). Finally, we summarised the current challenges and future trends of TMNPs in the biomedical field based on the latest advances by researchers.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the properties of magnetite nanoparticles that deliver optimal heating efficiency, predict the geometrical characteristics to get these target properties, and determine the concentrations of nanoparticles required to optimize thermotherapy. METHODS Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations were employed to identify the properties of magnetic nanoparticles that deliver high Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values. Optimal volumes were determined for anisotropies ranging between 11 and 40 kJ/m3 under clinically relevant magnetic field conditions. Atomistic spin simulations were employed to determine the aspect ratios of ellipsoidal magnetite nanoparticles that deliver the target properties. A numerical model was developed using the extended cardiac-torso (XCAT) phantom to simulate low-field (4 kA/m) and high-field (18 kA/m) prostate cancer thermotherapy. A stationary optimization study exploiting the Method of Moving Asymptotes (MMA) was carried out to calculate the concentration fields that deliver homogenous temperature distributions within target thermotherapy range constrained by the optimization objective function. A time-dependent study was used to compute the thermal dose of a 30-min session. RESULTS Prolate ellipsoidal magnetite nanoparticles with a volume of 3922 ± 35 nm3 and aspect ratio of 1.56, which yields an effective anisotropy of 20 kJ/m3 , constituted the optimal design at current maximum clinical field properties (H0 = 18 kA/m, f = 100 kHz), with SAR = 342.0 ± 2.7 W/g, while nanoparticles with a volume of 4147 ± 36 nm3 , aspect ratio of 1.29, and effective anisotropy 11 kJ/m3 were optimal for low-field applications (H0 = 4 kA/m, f = 100 kHz), with SAR = 50.2 ± 0.5 W/g. The average concentration of 3.86 ± 0.10 and 0.57 ± 0.01 mg/cm3 at 4 and 18 kA/m, respectively, were sufficient to reach therapeutic temperatures of 42-44°C throughout the prostate volume. The thermal dose delivered during a 30-min session exceeded 5.8 Cumulative Equivalent Minutes at 43°C within 90% of the prostate volume (CEM43T90 ). CONCLUSION The optimal properties and design specifications of magnetite nanoparticles vary with magnetic field properties. Application-specific magnetic nanoparticles or nanoparticles that are optimized at low fields are indicated for optimal thermal dose delivery at low concentrations.

Abstract
In the past decade, the study of extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes (50-150 nm) have attracted growing interest in numerous areas of cancer and tissue regeneration due to their unique biological features. A low isolation yield and insufficient targeting abilities limit their therapeutic applicability. Recently, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with magnetic navigation have been exploited to enhance the targeting ability of EVs. To construct targeted EV delivery systems engineered by SPIONs, several groups have pioneered the use of different techniques, such as electroporation, natural incubation, and cell extrusion, to directly internalize SPIONs into EVs. Furthermore, some endogenous ligands, such as transferrins, antibodies, aptamers, and streptavidin, were shown to enable modification of SPIONs, which increases binding with EVs. In this review, we summarized recent advances in targeted EV delivery systems engineered by SPIONs and focused on the key methodological approaches and the current applications of magnetic EVs. This report aims to address the existing challenges and provide comprehensive insights into targeted EV delivery systems. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Targeted extracellular vesicle (EV) delivery systems engineered by superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have attracted wide attention and research interest in recent years. Such strategies employ external magnet fields to manipulate SPION-functionalized EVs remotely, aiming to enhance their accumulation and penetration in vivo. Although iron oxide nanoparticle laden EVs are interesting, they are controversial at present, hampering the progress in their clinical application. A thorough integration of these studies is needed for an advanced insight and rational design of targeted EV delivery systems. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the design strategies of targeted EV delivery systems engineered by SPIONs with a focus on their key methodological approaches, current applications, limitation and future perspectives, which may facilitate the development of natural theranostic nanoplatforms.

Abstract
For the first time, inspired by magnetic resonance imaging-guidance high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) technology, i.e., medication therapy and thermal ablation in one session, in a preclinical setting based on a developed mathematical model, the performance of doxorubicin (Dox) and its encapsulation have been investigated in this study. Five different treatment methods, that combine medication therapy with mild hyperthermia by MRI contrast (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

A comparison between classical chemotherapy and thermochemistry shows that temperature can improve the therapeutic outcome by stimulating biological properties. On the other hand, the intravascular release of ThermoDox increases the concentration of free drug by 2.6 times compared to classical chemotherapy. The transport of drug in interstitium relies mainly on the diffusion mechanism to be able to penetrate deeper and reach the cancer cells in the inner regions of the tumor. Due to the low drug penetration into the tumor center, thermal ablation has been used for necrosis of the central areas before thermochemotherapy and ThermoDox therapy. Perfusion of the region around the necrotic zone is found to be damaged, while cells in the region are alive and not affected by medication therapy; so, there is a risk of tumor recurrence. Therefore, it is recommended that ablation be performed after the medication therapy. Our model describes a comprehensive assessment of MR-HIFU technology, taking into account many effective details, which can be a reliable guide towards the optimal use of drug delivery systems.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), co-encapsulating superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and sorafenib, have been exploited for magnetic-guided drug delivery to the liver. Two different magnetic configurations, both comprising two small magnets, were under-skin implanted to investigate the effect of the magnetic field topology on the magnetic SLNP accumulation in liver tissues. A preliminary simulation analysis was performed to predict the magnetic field topography for each tested configuration. EXPERIMENTS SLNs were prepared using a hot homogenization approach and characterized using complementary techniques. Their in vitro biological behavior was assessed in HepG-2 liver cancer cells; wild-type mice were used for the in vivo study. The magnet configuration that resulted in a higher magnetic targeting efficiency was investigated by evaluating the iron content in homogenated murine liver tissues. FINDINGS SLNs, characterized by an average size smaller than 200 nm, retained their superparamagnetic behavior and relevant molecular resonance imaging properties as negative contrast agents. The evaluation of iron accumulation in the liver tissues was consistent with the magnetic induction profile of each magnet configuration, concurring with the results predicted by simulation analysis and obtained by measurements in living mice.

Sciatic nerve regeneration after traumatic injury using magnetic targeted adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Acta Biomater 2021; 130:234-247. [PMID: 34082099 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.05.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Traumatic peripheral nerve injuries constitute a huge concern to public health. Nerve damage leads to a decrease or even loss of mobility of the innervated area. Adult stem cell therapies have shown some encouraging results and have been identified as promising treatment candidates for nerve regeneration. A major obstacle to that approach is securing a sufficient number of cells at the injured site to produce measurable therapeutic effects. The present work tackles this issue and demonstrates enhanced nerve regeneration ability promoted by magnetic targeted cell therapy in an in vivo Wallerian degeneration model. To this end, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSC) were loaded with citric acid coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), systemically transplanted and magnetically recruited to the injured sciatic nerve. AdMSC arrival to the injured nerve was significantly increased using magnetic targeting and their beneficial effects surpassed the regenerative properties of the stand-alone cell therapy. AdMSC-SPIONs group showed a partially conserved nerve structure with many intact myelinated axons. Also, a very remarkable restoration in myelin basic protein organization, indicative of remyelination, was observed. This resulted in an improvement in nerve conduction, demonstrating functional recovery. In summary, our results demonstrate that magnetically assisted delivery of AdMSC, using a non-invasive and non-traumatic method, is a highly promising strategy to promote cell recruitment and sciatic nerve regeneration after traumatic injury. Last but not least, our results validate magnetic targeting in vivo exceeding previous reports in less complex models through cell magnetic targeting in vitro and ex vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Traumatic peripheral nerve injuries constitute a huge public health concern. They can lead to a decrease or even loss of mobility of innervated areas. Due to their complex pathophysiology, current pharmacological and surgical approaches are only partially effective. Cell-based therapies have emerged as a useful tool to achieve full tissue regeneration. However, a major bottleneck is securing enough cells at injured sites. Therefore, our proposal combining biological (adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells) and nanotechnological strategies (magnetic targeting) is of great relevance, reporting the first in vivo experiments involving "magnetic stem cell" targeting for peripheral nerve regeneration. Using a non-invasive and non-traumatic method, cell recruitment in the injured nerve was improved, fostering nerve remyelination and functional recovery.

Abstract
The combination of multiple functions in a single nanoparticle (NP) represents a key advantage of nanomedicine compared to traditional medical approaches. This is well represented by radiotherapy in which the dose of ionizing radiation should be calibrated on sensitizers biodistribution. Ideally, this is possible when the drug acts both as radiation enhancer and imaging contrast agent. Here, an easy, one-step, laser-assisted synthetic procedure is used to generate iron-boron (Fe-B) NPs featuring the set of functions required to assist neutron capture therapy (NCT) with magnetic resonance imaging. The Fe-B NPs exceed by three orders of magnitude the payload of boron isotopes contained in clinical sensitizers. The Fe-B NPs have magnetic properties of interest also for magnetophoretic accumulation in tissues and magnetic hyperthermia to assist drug permeation in tissues. Besides, Fe-B NPs are biocompatible and undergo slow degradation in the lysosomal environment that facilitates in vivo clearance through the liver-spleen-kidneys pathway. Overall, the Fe-B NPs represent a new promising tool for future exploitation in magnetic resonance imaging-guided boron NCT at higher levels of efficacy and tolerability.

Abstract
Nanomedicines offer nanoscale drug delivery system. They offer ways of promising drug transportation, and address the issues of lack of targeting and permeability of traditional drugs. The physical and chemical properties in the domain of nanomedicine applications in vivo have not been sufficiently delivered. What's more, the metabolic of nanomedicines is not clear enough. Those factors which mentioned above determine that many nanomedicines have not yet realized clinical application due to their safety problems and in vivo efficacy. For example, they may cause immune response and cytotoxicity, as well as the ability to clear organs in vivo, the penetration ability of them and the lack of targeting ability may also cause poor efficacy of drugs in vivo. In this review, the new progresses of different kinds of nanomedicines (including gold nanoparticles, nanorobots, black phosphorus nanoparticles, brain diseases, gene editing and immunotherapy etc.) in anti-tumor, antibacterial, ocular diseases and arteriosclerosis in recent years were summarized. Their shortcomings were pointed out, and the new methods to improve the biosafety and efficacy were summarized.

Abstract
Nanotechnologies have attracted increasing attention in their application in medicine, especially in the development of new drug delivery systems. With the help of nano-sized carriers, drugs can reach specific diseased areas, prolonging therapeutic efficacy while decreasing undesired side-effects. In addition, recent nanotechnological advances, such as surface stabilization and stimuli-responsive functionalization have also significantly improved the targeting capacity and therapeutic efficacy of the nanocarrier assisted drug delivery system. In this review, we evaluate recent advances in the development of different nanocarriers and their applications in therapeutics delivery.

Abstract
Targeted drug delivery using magnetic particles (MPs) and external magnets for focusing them at the diseased regions, called magnetic drug targeting (MDT), is a next-generation therapeutic method that is being continually improved. However, most existing magnetic systems cannot focus MPs in the targeted region due to there not being enough magnetic capturing force and absence of schemes to generate localized high magnetic field at the wall of the target region. This paper suggests a novel scheme to utilize half of a static saddle potential energy configuration generated using four electromagnets that not only enhances the pushing magnetic forces but also simultaneously generates pushing and attracting forces in the desired direction to help focus spherical MPs on the wall of the target region. Furthermore, by changing amplitudes or directions of the currents, the focal point in the target region can be changed. Through extensive simulations and in vitro experiments, we demonstrate that half of a static saddle magnetic potential energy configuration can be successfully utilized to attract and focus MPs at the wall of a target region.

Abstract
Abstract
Excess lactic acid in blood will lead to hyperlactatemia, which is frequently detected in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care. Reducing the blood lactic acid content using acute treatments becomes particularly important for bringing a patient out of danger. Traditional treatments often fail in case of malfunctioning of a patients’ metabolism. Herein, nanotechnology was introduced to remove blood lactic acid independent of metabolism. In this work, chitosan was employed as the shell to adsorb lactic acid, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles were employed as the core to enable proper magnetic separation property. Our data showed that core–shell nanocomposites (NCs) had an exigent and efficient adsorption behavior. Furthermore, they could be easily separated from blood plasma by magnetic separation. Thus, the good hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility indicated that of core–shell NCs hold great potential in lactic acid removal for emergent hyperlactatemia treatment.

Abstract
Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) treatment makes use of a suspension of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, administered systemically or locally, in combination with an externally applied alternating magnetic field, to ablate target tissue by generating heat through a process called induction. The heat generated above the mammalian euthermic temperature of 37°C induces apoptotic cell death and/or enhances the susceptibility of the target tissue to other therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy. While most hyperthermia techniques currently in development are targeted towards cancer treatment, hyperthermia is also used to treat restenosis, to remove plaques, to ablate nerves and to alleviate pain by increasing regional blood flow. While RF hyperthermia can be directed invasively towards the site of treatment, non-invasive localization of heat through induction is challenging. In this review, we discuss recent progress in the field of RF magnetic fluid hyperthermia and introduce a new diagnostic imaging modality called magnetic particle imaging that allows for a focused theranostic approach encompassing treatment planning, treatment monitoring and spatially localized inductive heating.
