Abstract
The global threat posed by antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to public health is an immensurable problem. The effectiveness of treating infections would be more at risk in the absence of effective antimicrobials. Researchers have shown an amplified interest in alternatives, such as developing advanced metallic nanohybrids as new therapeutic candidates for antibiotics due to their promising effectiveness against resistant microorganisms. In recent decades, the antimicrobial activity of monometallic nanoparticles has received extensive study and solid proof, providing new opportunities for developing multimetallic nanohybrid antimicrobials. Advanced metallic nanohybrids are an emerging remedy for a number of issues that develop in the field of medicine. Advanced metallic nanohybrids have shown a promising ability to combat resistant microorganisms due to their overall synergistic activity. Formulating advanced multimetallic nanohybrids falling under the umbrella of the growing field of nanoarchitectonics, which extends beyond nanotechnology. The underlying theory of nanoarchitectonics involves utilizing nanoscale units that follow the concepts of nanotechnology to architect nanomaterials. This review focuses on a comprehensive description of antimicrobial mechanisms of metallic nanohybrids and their enabling future insights on the research directions of developing the nanoarchitectonics of advanced multimetallic nanohybrids as novel antibiotics through their synergistic activity.

Abstract
FexGeTe2(x= 3, 5) are two-dimensional ferromagnetic (FM) materials that have gained significant attention from researchers due to their relatively high Curie temperature and tunability. However, the methods for preparing FM nanoparticles (FNPs) and large-area FexGeTe2films are still in the early stages. Here, we studied the magnetic properties of FexGeTe2FNPs exfoliated via wet exfoliation in pure water. The coercive field of Fe3GeTe2FNPs increases significantly, up to 60 times, while that of Fe5GeTe2only slightly increases from that of bulk crystals. Further investigation related to the dimension of nanoparticles and the Henkel plot analysis reveals that the variation in their coercive field stems from the material's thickness-dependent coercive field and the type of term that governs the interaction between single-domain nanoparticles. Our work demonstrates a facile method for preparing FNPs using van der Waals FM materials and tuning their magnetic properties.

Abstract
Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (IONPs) hold the potential to exert significant influence on fighting cancer through their theranostics capabilities as contrast agents (CAs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and as mediators for magnetic hyperthermia (MH). In addition, these capabilities can be improved by doping IONPs with other elements. In this work, the synthesis and characterization of single-core and alloy ZnFe novel magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), with improved magnetic properties and more efficient magnetic-to-heat conversion, are reported. Remarkably, the results challenge classical nucleation and growth theories, which cannot fully predict the final size/shape of these nanoparticles and, consequently, their magnetic properties, implying the need for further studies to better understand the nanomagnetism phenomenon. On the other hand, leveraging the enhanced properties of these new NPs, successful tumor therapy by MH is achieved following their intravenous administration and tumor accumulation via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Notably, these results are obtained using a single low dose of MNPs and a single exposure to clinically suitable alternating magnetic fields (AMF). Therefore, as far as the authors are aware, for the first time, the successful application of intravenously administered MNPs for MRI-tracked MH tumor therapy in passively targeted tumor xenografts using clinically suitable conditions is demonstrated.

In Vitro Toxicological Insights from the Biomedical Applications of Iron Carbide Nanoparticles in Tumor Theranostics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:734. [PMID: 38727328 PMCID: PMC11085367 DOI: 10.3390/nano14090734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
(1) Background: Despite the encouraging indications regarding the suitability (biocompatibility) of iron carbide nanoparticles (ICNPs) in various biomedical applications, the published evidence of their biosafety is dispersed and relatively sparse. The present review synthesizes the existing nanotoxicological data from in vitro studies relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. (2) Methods: A systematic review was performed in electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Wiley Online Library) on December 2023, searching for toxicity assessments of ICNPs of different sizes, coatings, and surface modifications investigated in immortalized human and murine cell lines. The risk of bias in the studies was assessed using the ToxRTool for in vitro studies. (3) Results: Among the selected studies (n = 22), cell viability emerged as the most frequently assessed cellular-level toxicity endpoint. The results of the meta-analysis showed that cell models treated with ICNPs had a reduced cell viability (SMD = -2.531; 95% CI: -2.959 to -2.109) compared to untreated samples. A subgroup analysis was performed due to the high magnitude of heterogeneity (I2 = 77.1%), revealing that ICNP concentration and conjugated ligands are the factors that largely influence toxicity (p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: A dose-dependent cytotoxicity of ICNP exposure was observed, regardless of the health status of the cell, tested organism, and NP size. Inconsistent reporting of ICNP physicochemical properties was noted, which hinders comparability among the studies. A comprehensive exploration of the available in vivo studies is required in future research to assess the safety of ICNPs' use in bioimaging and cancer treatment.

Abstract
This study involves the development of a new nanocomposite material for use in biological applications. The nanocomposite was based on tragacanth hydrogel (TG), which was formed through cross-linking of Ca2+ ions with TG polymer chains. The utilization of TG hydrogel and silk fibroin as natural compounds has enhanced the biocompatibility, biodegradability, adhesion, and cell growth properties of the nanobiocomposite. This advancement makes the nanobiocomposite suitable for various biological applications, including drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue engineering. Additionally, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized in situ within the nanocomposite to enhance its hyperthermia efficiency. The presence of hydrophilic groups in all components of the nanobiocomposite allowed for good dispersion in water, which is an important factor in increasing the effectiveness of hyperthermia cancer therapy. Hemolysis and 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assays were conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the nanobiocomposite for in-vivo applications. Results showed that even at high concentrations, the nanobiocomposite had minimal hemolytic effects. Finally, the hyperthermia application of the hybrid scaffold was evaluated, with a maximum SAR value of 41.2 W/g measured in the first interval.

Abstract
In this study, Mg1-xCoxFe2O4 (0≤x ≤ 1 with ∆x = 0.1) or MCFO nanoparticles were synthesized using a chemical co-precipitation method and annealed at 200, 400, 600, and 800°C respectively to investigate the structural properties of the materials by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Controlled annealing increased particle size for each value of x. The aim was to investigate how specific loss power (SLP) and maximum temperature (Tmax) during local magnetic hyperthermia were affected by structural alterations associated with particle size and composition. The lattice parameter, X-ray density, ionic radius, hopping length, bond length, cation-cation distance, and cation-anion distance increase with an increase in Co2+ content. Raman and FTIR spectroscopy reveal changes in cation distribution with Co2+ content and particle size. Magnetic properties measured by the physical property measurement system (PPMS) showed saturation magnetization (Ms), coercivity (Hc), remanent magnetization (Mr/Ms), and anisotropy constant (K1) of the Mg1-xCoxFe2O4 nanoparticles increase with Co2+ content and particle size. When exposed to an rf magnetic field, the nanohybrids experienced an increase in both the SLP (specific loss power) and Tmax (maximum temperature) as the particle size initially increased. However, these values reached their peak at critical particle size and subsequently decreased. This occurs since a modest increase in anisotropy, resulting from the presence of Co2+ and larger particle size, facilitates Néel and Brownian relaxation. However, for high anisotropy values and particle size, the Néel and Brownian relaxations are hindered, leading to the emergence of a critical size. The critical size increases as the Co2+ content decreases, but it decreases as the Co2+ content increases, a consequence of higher anisotropy with the increase in Co2+. Additionally, it is noteworthy that the maximum temperature (Tmax) rises as the concentration of nanohybrids grows, but the specific loss power (SLP) decreases. An increased concentration of chitosan-MCFO nanohybrids inhibits both the Néel and Brownian relaxation processes, reducing specific loss power.

Abstract
This review focuses on the latest advancements in magnetic hydroxyapatite (mHA) nanoparticles and their potential applications in nanomedicine and regenerative medicine. mHA nanoparticles have gained significant interest over the last few years for their great potential, offering advanced multi-therapeutic strategies because of their biocompatibility, bioactivity, and unique physicochemical features, enabling on-demand activation and control. The most relevant synthetic methods to obtain magnetic apatite-based materials, either in the form of iron-doped HA nanoparticles showing intrinsic magnetic properties or composite/hybrid compounds between HA and superparamagnetic metal oxide nanoparticles, are described as highlighting structure-property correlations. Following this, this review discusses the application of various magnetic hydroxyapatite nanomaterials in bone regeneration and nanomedicine. Finally, novel perspectives are investigated with respect to the ability of mHA nanoparticles to improve nanocarriers with homogeneous structures to promote multifunctional biological applications, such as cell stimulation and instruction, antimicrobial activity, and drug release with on-demand triggering.

Abstract
A pivotal cause of death in the modern world, cancer is an insidious pathology that should be diagnosed at an early stage for successful treatment. Development of therapeutic interventions with minimal invasiveness and high efficacy that can discriminate between tumor and normal cells is of particular interest to the clinical science, as they can enhance patient survival. Nanoparticles are an invaluable asset that can be adopted for development of such diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, since they come in very small sizes with modifiable surface, are highly safe and stable, and can be synthesized in a controlled fashion. To date, different nanoparticles have been incorporated into numerous modalities such as tumor-targeted therapy, thermal therapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. This review article seeks to deliver a brief account of recent advances in research and application of nanoparticles in hyperthermia-based cancer therapies. The most recent investigations are summarized to highlight the latest advances in the development of combined thermo-chemo-radiotherapy, along with the challenges associated with the application of nanoparticles in cancer therapy. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
With the ultimate goal of providing a novel platform able to inhibit bacterial adhesion, biofilm formation, and anticancer properties, cerium-doped hydroxyapatite films enhanced with magnetite were developed via spin-coating. The unique aspect of the current study is the potential for creating cerium-doped hydroxyapatite/Fe3O4 coatings on a titanium support to enhance the functionality of bone implants. To assure an increase in the bioactivity of the titanium surface, alkali pretreatment was done before deposition of the apatite layer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to evaluate coatings. Coatings demonstrated good efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with the latter showing the highest efficacy. In vitro bioactivity in simulated body fluid solution showed this material to be proficient for bone-like apatite formation on the implant surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was undertaken on intact coatings to examine the barrier properties of composites. We found that spin-coating at 4000 rpm could greatly increase the total resistance. After seeding with osteoblastic populations, Ce-HAP/Fe3O4 materials the adhesion and proliferation of cells. The heating capacity of the Ce-HAP/Fe3O4 film was optimal at 45 °C at 15 s at a frequency of 318 kHz. Osseointegration depends on many more parameters than hydroxyapatite production, so these coatings have significant potential for use in bone healing and bone-cancer therapy.

Abstract
The magnetic properties of nanoscale magnets are greatly influenced by surface anisotropy. So far, its quantification is based on the examination of the blocking temperature shift within a series of nanoparticles of varying sizes. In this scenario, the surface anisotropy is assumed to be a particle size-independent quantity. However, there is no solid experimental proof to support this simplified picture. On the contrary, our work unravels the size-dependent magnetic morphology and surface anisotropy in highly uniform magnetic nanoparticles using small-angle polarized neutron scattering. We observed that the surface anisotropy constant does not depend on the nanoparticle's size in the range of 3-9 nm. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that the surface spins are less prone to polarization with increasing nanoparticle size. Our study thus proves the size dependence of the surface spin disorder and the surface anisotropy constant in fine nanomagnets. These findings open new routes in materials based on a controlled surface spin disorder, which is essential for future applications of nanomagnets in biomedicine and magnonics.

Abstract
Core-shell magnetic air-stable nanoparticles have attracted increasing interest in recent years. Attaining a satisfactory distribution of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in polymeric matrices is difficult due to magnetically induced aggregation, and supporting the MNPs on a nonmagnetic core-shell is a well-established strategy. In order to obtain magnetically active polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites by melt mixing, the thermal reduction of graphene oxides (TrGO) at two different temperatures (600 and 1000 °C) was carried out, and, subsequently, metallic nanoparticles (Co or Ni) were dispersed on them. The XRD patterns of the nanoparticles show the characteristic peaks of the graphene, Co, and Ni nanoparticles, where the estimated sizes of Ni and Co were 3.59 and 4.25 nm, respectively. The Raman spectroscopy presents typical D and G bands of graphene materials as well as the corresponding peaks of Ni and Co nanoparticles. Elemental and surface area studies show that the carbon content and surface area increase with thermal reduction, as expected, following a reduction in the surface area by the support of MNPs. Atomic absorption spectroscopy demonstrates about 9-12 wt % metallic nanoparticles supported on the TrGO surface, showing that the reduction of GO at two different temperatures has no significant effect on the support of metallic nanoparticles. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy shows that the addition of a filler does not alter the chemical structure of the polymer. Scanning electron microscopy of the fracture interface of the samples demonstrates consistent dispersion of the filler in the polymer. The TGA analysis shows that, with the incorporation of the filler, the initial (Tonset) and maximum (Tmax) degradation temperatures of the PP nanocomposites increase up to 34 and 19 °C, respectively. The DSC results present an improvement in the crystallization temperature and percent crystallinity. The filler addition slightly enhances the elastic modulus of the nanocomposites. The results of the water contact angle confirm that the prepared nanocomposites are hydrophilic. Importantly, the diamagnetic matrix is transformed into a ferromagnetic one with the addition of the magnetic filler.

Dosimetry Effects Due to the Presence of Fe Nanoparticles for Potential Combination of Hyperthermic Cancer Treatment with MRI-Based Image-Guided Radiotherapy. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010514. [PMID: 36613959 PMCID: PMC9820326 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Nanoparticles have proven to be biocompatible and suitable for many biomedical applications. Currently, hyperthermia cancer treatments based on Fe nanoparticle infusion excited by alternating magnetic fields are commonly used. In addition to this, MRI-based image-guided radiotherapy represents, nowadays, one of the most promising accurate radiotherapy modalities. Hence, assessing the feasibility of combining both techniques requires preliminary characterization of the corresponding dosimetry effects. The present work reports on a theoretical and numerical simulation feasibility study aimed at pointing out preliminary dosimetry issues. Spatial dose distributions incorporating magnetic nanoparticles in MRI-based image-guided radiotherapy have been obtained by Monte Carlo simulation approaches accounting for all relevant radiation interaction properties as well as charged particles coupling with strong external magnetic fields, which are representative of typical MRI-LINAC devices. Two main effects have been evidenced: local dose enhancement (up to 60% at local level) within the infused volume, and non-negligible changes in the dose distribution at the interfaces between different tissues, developing to over 70% for low-density anatomical cavities. Moreover, cellular uptakes up to 10% have been modeled by means of considering different Fe nanoparticle concentrations. A theoretical temperature-dependent model for the thermal enhancement ratio (TER) has been used to account for radiosensitization due to hyperthermia. The outcomes demonstrated the reliability of the Monte Carlo approach in accounting for strong magnetic fields and mass distributions from patient-specific anatomy CT scans to assess dose distributions in MRI-based image-guided radiotherapy combined with magnetic nanoparticles, while the hyperthermic radiosensitization provides further and synergic contributions.

Abstract
For progression of health care system, it has always been a challenge to the researchers for formulation to a type of advanced drug delivery system which will have less toxicity, targeted delivery and will be highly biodegradable. Nano science or nanotechnology has been validated to be a successful method as of targeting the drug to its active site be due to its special physicochemical properties and size thereby reducing the dose of administration, increasing bioavailability, and also reducing toxicity. Magnetic nanoparticles recently in few decades have proved as an effective advanced drug delivery system for its elevated magnetic responsiveness, biocompatibility, elevated targeted drug delivery effectiveness, etc. The drug can be easily targeted to active site by application of external magnetic field. Among the various elements, nanoparticles prepared with magnetically active iron oxide or other iron-based spinel oxide nanoparticles are widely used due to its high electrical resistivity, mechanical hardness, chemical stability, etc. Owing to their easy execution towards drug delivery application, extensive research has been carried out in this area. This review paper has summarized all recent modifications of iron-based magnetically active nanoparticle based drug delivery system along with their synthesis, characterization, and applications.

Abstract
Regeneration of the damaged neurons in neurological disorders and returning their activities are two of the main purposes of neuromedicine. Combination use of specific nanoformulations with a therapeutic compound could be a good candidate for neuroregeneration applications. Accordingly, this research aims to utilize the combination of curcumin, as a neurogenesis agent, with dextran-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to evaluate their effects on PC12 cellsʹ neuronal branching morphogenesis in the absence of nerve growth factor. Therefore, the effects of each component alone and in combination form on the cytotoxicity, neurogenesis, and neural branching morphogenesis were evaluated using MTT assay, immunofluorescence staining, and inverted microscopy, respectively. Results confirmed the effectiveness of the biocompatible iron oxide nanoparticles (with a size of about 100 nm) in improving the percentage of neural branching (p < 0.01) in PC12 cells. In addition, the combination use of these nanoparticles with curcumin could enhance the effect of curcumin on neurogenesis (p < 0.01). These results suggest that SPIONs in combination with curcumin could act as an inducing factor on PC12 neurogenesis in the absence of nerve growth factor and could offer a novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Exfoliation syndrome presents as an accumulation of insoluble fibrillar aggregates that commonly correlates with age and causes ocular complications, most notably open-angle glaucoma. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis and risk factors associated with exfoliation syndrome, there has been no significant progress in curative pharmacotherapy of this disease. It is thought that the ability to target the fibrillar aggregates associated with exfoliation may offer a new therapeutic approach, facilitating their direct removal from affected tissues. Phage display techniques yielded two peptides (LPSYNLHPHVPP, IPLLNPGSMQLS) that could differentiate between exfoliative and non-affected regions of the human lens capsule. These peptides were conjugated to magnetic particles using click chemistry to investigate their ability in targeting and removing exfoliation materials from the anterior human lens capsule. The behavior of the fibrillar materials upon binding to these magnetic particles was assessed using magnetic pins and rotating magnetic fields of various strengths. Ex vivo studies showed that the magnetic particle-peptide conjugates could generate enough mechanical force to remove large aggregates of exfoliation materials from the lens capsule when exposed to a low-frequency rotating magnetic field (5000 G, 20 Hz). Biocompatibility of targeting peptides with and without conjugated magnetic particles was confirmed using MTT cell toxicity assay, live/dead cell viability assay, and DNA fragmentation studies on primary cultured human trabecular meshwork cells. This is a novel, minimally invasive, therapeutic approach for the treatment of exfoliation glaucoma via the targeting and removal of exfoliation materials that could be applied to all tissues within the anterior segment of the eye.

Abstract
The opportunity to create different patterns of magnetic nanoparticles on surfaces is highly desirable across many technological and biomedical applications. In this paper, this ability is demonstrated for the first time using a computer-controlled aerosol jet printing (AJP) technology. AJP is an emerging digitally driven, non-contact and mask-less printing process which has distinguishing advantages over other patterning technologies as it offers high-resolution and versatile direct-write deposition of a wide range of materials onto a variety of substrates. This research demonstrates the ability of AJP to reliably print large-area, fine-feature patterns of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) onto both rigid material (glass) and soft and flexible materials (polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) nanofilms). Investigation identified and controlled influential process variables which permitted feature sizes in the region of 20 μm to be realised. This method could be employed for a wide range of applications that require a flexible and responsive process that permits high yield and rapid patterning of magnetic material over large areas. As a first proof of concept, we present patterned magnetic nanofilms with enhanced manipulability under external magnetic field gradient control and which are capable of performing complex movements such as rotation and bending, with applicability to soft robotics and biomedical engineering applications.

Abstract
Recent innovations in nanotechnology have opened the applicability of multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedical diagnosis and treatment. The examples of NPs which have attracted considerable attention in recent years are metals (e.g., Au, Ag, Mg), alloys (e.g., Fe-Co, Fe-Pd, Fe-Pt, Co-Pt), iron oxides (e.g., Fe2O3 and Fe3O4), substituted ferrites (e.g., MnFe2O4 and CoFe2O4), manganites (e.g., [Formula: see text]), etc. Special attention has been paid to magnetic NPs (MNPs), as they are the potential candidates for several biomedical appliances, such as hyperthermia applications, magnetic resonance imaging, contrast imaging, and drug delivery. To achieve effective MNPs, a thorough investigation on the synthesis, and characteristic properties, including size, magnetic properties, and toxicity, is required. Furthermore, the surfaces of the NPs must be tailored to improve the biocompatibility properties and reduce agglomeration. The present review focuses on different mechanisms to develop biocompatible MNPs. The utility of these MNPs in various biomedical applications, especially in treating and diagnosing human diseases, such as targeted drug delivery, hyperthermia treatment for cancer, and other biomedical diagnoses, is thoroughly discussed in this article. Different synthetic processes and important physical properties of these MNPs and their biocomposites are presented.

Abstract
Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has become one of the most important instruments for characterizing magnetic materials with nanoscale spatial resolution. When analyzing magnetic particles by MFM, calibration of the magnetic tips using reference magnetic nanoparticles is a prerequisite due to similar orientation and dimension of the yielded magnetic fields. However, in such a calibration process, errors caused by extra electrostatic interactions will significantly affect the output results. In this work, we evaluate the magnetic moment and dipole radius of the MFM tip on Fe3O4nanoparticles by considering the associated electrostatic force. The coupling of electrostatic contribution on the measured MFM phase is eliminated by combining MFM and Kelvin probe force microscopy together with theoretical modeling. Numerical simulations and experiments on nickel nanoparticles demonstrate the effectiveness of decoupling. Results show that the calibrated MFM tip can enable a more accurate analysis of micro-and-nano magnetism. In addition, a fast and easy calibration method by using bimodal MFM is discussed, in which the acquisition of multiple phase shifts at different lift heights is not required.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most important techniques in the diagnosis of many diseases including cancers, where contrast agents (CAs) are usually necessary to improve its precision and sensitivity. Previous MRI CAs are confined to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) elevation of lesions for precisely localizing lesions. As nanobiotechnology advances, some new MRI CAs or nanobiotechnology-enabled MRI modes have been established to vary the longitudinal or transverse relaxation of CAs, which are harnessed to detect lesion targets, monitor disease evolution, predict or evaluate curative effect, etc. These distinct cases provide unexpected insights into the correlation of the design principles of these nanobiotechnologies and corresponding MRI CAs with their potential applications. In this review, first, we briefly present the principles, classifications and applications of conventional MRI CAs, and then elucidate the recent advances in relaxation tuning via the development of various nanobiotechnologies with emphasis on the design strategies of nanobiotechnology and the corresponding MRI CAs to target the tumor microenvironment (TME) and biological targets or activities in tumors or other diseases. In addition, we exemplified the advantages of these strategies in disease theranostics and explored their potential application fields. Finally, we analyzed the present limitations, potential solutions and future development direction of MRI after its combination with nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
Recently, magnetic platforms have been widely investigated in diagnostic, therapeutic and research applications due to certain properties, such as cell and tissue tracking and imaging, thermal therapy and being dirigible. In this study, the incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in nanofibers has been proposed to combine the advantages of both nanofibers and MNPs to induce neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Magnetic poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanofibers (containing 0%, 5% and 10% SPION) were fabricated and utilized as the matrix for the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Morphological, magnetic and mechanical properties were analyzed using FESEM, VSM and tensile test, respectively. The expression of neural markers (TUJ-1, NSE, MAP-2) was assessed quantitative and qualitatively utilizing RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. Results confirmed the incorporation of MNPs in nanofibrous scaffold, presenting a saturation magnetization of 9.73 emu g-1. Also, with increase in magnetic particle concentration (0%-10%), tensile strength increased from 4.08 to 5.85 MPa, whereas the percentage of elongation decreased. TUJ-1 expression was 3.8 and 1.8 fold for 10% and 5% magnetic scaffold (versus non-magnetic scaffold) respectively, and the expression of NSE was 6.3 and 1.2-fold for 10% and 5%, respectively. Consequently, it seems that incorporation of magnetic biomaterial can promote the neural differentiation of MSCs, during which the augmentation of super paramagnetic iron oxide concentration from 0% to 10% accelerates the neural differentiation process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) is a promising method to improve the therapy efficiency for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancers. In MDT, therapeutic agents are bonded to superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) cores and then are guided toward the damaged tissue through a magnetic field. Fundamentally, it's vital to steer the SPIONs to the desired location to increase the capture efficiency at the target lesion. Hence, the present study aims to enhance the drug delivery to the desired branch in a carotid bifurcation. Besides, it is tried to decrement the particles' entry to the unwanted outlet by using four different magnet configurations (with a maximum magnetic flux density of 0.4 T) implanted adjacent to the artery wall. Also, the effect of particles' diameter -ranging from 200 nm to 2 µm- on the drug delivery performance is studied in the four cases. METHODS The Eulerian-Lagrangian approach with one-way coupling is employed for numerical simulation of the problem using the finite element method (FEM). The dominant forces acting on particles are drag and magnetophoretic. A computed tomography (CT) model of the carotid bifurcation is adopted to have a 3D realistic geometry. The blood flow is considered to be laminar, incompressible, pulsatile, and non-Newtonian. Boundary conditions are applied using the three-element Windkessel equation. RESULTS Results are presented in terms of velocity, pressure, magnetic field flux density, wall shear stress, and streamlines. Also, the number of particles in each direction is presented for the four studied cases. The results show that using proper magnets configurations makes it possible to guide more particles to the desired branch (up to 4%) while preventing particles from entering the unwanted branch (up to 13%). By defining connectivity between oscillatory shear index (OSI) value and magnetic drug delivery efficacy, it becomes clear that places with lower OSI values are more proper to place the magnets than areas with higher OSI values. CONCLUSIONS It was observed that increasing the diameter of particles does not necessarily result in a higher drug delivery efficiency. The configuration of the magnets and the size of particles are the main affecting parameters that should be chosen precisely to meet the most efficient drug delivery performance.

Abstract
Nanoparticulate systems in the presence of proteins are highly relevant for various biomedical applications such as photo-thermal therapy and targeted drug delivery. These involve a complex interplay between the charge state of nanoparticles and protein, the resulting protein conformation, adsorption equilibrium and adsorption kinetics, as well as particle dissolution. SiO2 is a common constituent of bioactive glasses used in biomedical applications. In this context, the dissolution behavior of silica particles in the presence of a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), at physiologically relevant pH conditions was studied. Sedimentation analysis using an analytical ultracentrifuge showed that BSA in the supernatant solution is not affected by the presence of silica nanoparticles. However, zeta potential measurements revealed that the presence of the protein alters the particles' charge state. Adsorption and dissolution studies demonstrated that the presence of the protein significantly enhances the dissolution kinetics via interactions of positively charged amino acids in the protein with the negative silica surface and interaction of BSA with dissolved silicate species. Our study provides comprehensive insights into the complex interactions between proteins and oxide nanoparticles and establishes a reliable protocol paving the way for future investigations in more complex systems involving biological solutions as well as bioactive materials.

Abstract
Traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery usually cause severe side effects and excruciating pain. The emergence of nanomedicines and minimally invasive therapies (MITs) has brought hope to patients with malignant diseases. Especially, minimally invasive nanomedicines (MINs), which combine the advantages of nanomedicines and MITs, can effectively target pathological cells/tissues/organs to improve the bioavailability of drugs, minimize side effects and achieve painless treatment with a small incision or no incision, thereby acquiring good therapeutic effects. In this review, we provide a comprehensive review of the research status and challenges of MINs, which generally refers to the medical applications of nanotechnology in photo-/ultrasound-/radiation-/magnetism-mediated therapy and imaging. Additionally, we also discuss their combined application in various fields including cancers, cardiovascular diseases, tissue engineering, neuro-functional diseases, and infectious diseases. The prospects, and potential bench-to-bedside translation of MINs are also presented in this review. We expect that this review can inspire the broad interest for a wide range of readers working in the fields of interdisciplinary subjects including (but not limited to) chemistry, nanomedicine, bioengineering, nanotechnology, materials science, pharmacology, and biomedicine.

This paper offers a brief overview of the most relevant early results and a comprehensive description of recent achievements in ferrofluid synthesis, advanced characterization, as well as the governing equations of ferrohydrodynamics, the most important interfacial phenomena and the flow properties. Finally, it provides an overview of recent advances in tunable and adaptive multifunctional materials derived from ferrofluids and a detailed presentation of the recent progress of applications in the field of sensors and actuators, ferrofluid-driven assembly and manipulation, droplet technology, including droplet generation and control, mechanical actuation, liquid computing and robotics.

Abstract
Molecular adsorption to the nanoparticle surface may switch the colloidal interactions from repulsive to attractive and promote nanoparticle agglomeration. If the nanoparticles are magnetic, then their agglomerates exhibit a much stronger response to external magnetic fields than individual nanoparticles. Coupling between adsorption, agglomeration, and magnetism allows a synergy between the high specific area of nanoparticles (∼100 m2/g) and their easy guidance or separation by magnetic fields. This yet poorly explored concept is believed to overcome severe restrictions for several biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles related to their poor magnetic remote control. In this paper, we test this concept using curcumin (CUR) binding (adsorption) to β-cyclodextrin (βCD)-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP). CUR adsorption is governed by host-guest hydrophobic interactions with βCD through the formation of 1:1 and, possibly, 2:1 βCD:CUR inclusion complexes on the IONP surface. A 2:1 stoichiometry is supposed to promote IONP primary agglomeration, facilitating the formation of the secondary needle-like agglomerates under external magnetic fields and their magneto-microfluidic separation. The efficiency of these field-induced processes increases with CUR concentration and βCD surface density, while their relatively short timescale (<5 min) is compatible with magnetic drug delivery application.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease that has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. The current conventional therapies utilized for the treatment of cancer have detrimental side effects. This led scientific researchers to explore new therapeutic avenues with an improved benefit to risk profile. Researchers have found nanoparticles, particles between the 1 and 100 nm range, to be encouraging tools in the area of cancer. Magnetic nanoparticles are one of many available nanoparticles at present. Magnetic nanoparticles have increasingly been receiving a considerable amount of attention in recent years owing to their unique magnetic properties, among many others. Magnetic nanoparticles can be controlled by an external magnetic field, signifying their ability to be site specific. The most popular approaches for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles are co-precipitation, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal, and polyol synthesis. The functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles is essential as it significantly increases their biocompatibility. The most utilized functionalization agents are comprised of polymers. The synthesis and functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles will be further explored in this review. The biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles investigated in this review are drug delivery, magnetic hyperthermia, and diagnosis. The diagnosis aspect focuses on the utilization of magnetic nanoparticles as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. Clinical trials and toxicology studies relating to the application of magnetic nanoparticles for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer will also be discussed in this review.

Abstract
The integration of photothermal therapy (PTT) with gene therapy (GT) in a single nanoscale platform demonstrates great potential in cancer therapy. Porous iron oxide nanoagents (PIONs) are widely used as magnetic nanoagents in the drug delivery field and also serve as a photothermal nanoagent for photothermal therapy. However, the therapeutic efficacy of PIONs-mediated GT has not been studied. The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) CRYBG3 (LNC CRYBG3), a lncRNA induced by heavy ion irradiation in lung cancer cells, has been reported to directly bind to globular actin (G-actin) and cause degradation of cytoskeleton and blocking of cytokinesis, thus indicating its potential for use in GT by simulating the effect of heavy ion irradiation and functioning as an antitumor drug. In the present study, we investigated the possibility of combining PIONs-mediated PTT and LNC CRYBG3-mediated GT to destroy non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells both in vitro and in vivo. The combination therapy showed a high cancer cell killing efficacy, and the cure rate was better than that achieved using PTT or GT alone. Moreover, as a type of magnetic nanoagent, PIONs can be used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) both in vitro and in vivo. These findings indicate that the new combination therapy has high potential for cancer treatment. LNC CRYBG3 induced by heavy ion irradiation can cause cytoskeleton degradation and function as an antitumor drug. pcDNA3.1-LNC CRYBG3 delivered by PIONs can escape from lysosomes to facilitate plasmid release when exposed to NIR. The combination of PIONs-mediated PTT and LNC CRYBG3-mediated GT presents both diagnosis and treatment potential.

Abstract
The interconnection of nanotechnology and medicine could lead to improved materials, offering a better quality of life and new opportunities for biomedical applications, moving from research to clinical applications. Magnetite nanoparticles are interesting magnetic nanomaterials because of the property-depending methods chosen for their synthesis. Magnetite nanoparticles can be coated with various materials, resulting in “core/shell” magnetic structures with tunable properties. To synthesize promising materials with promising implications for biomedical applications, the researchers functionalized magnetite nanoparticles with silica and, thanks to the presence of silanol groups, the functionality, biocompatibility, and hydrophilicity were improved. This review highlights the most important synthesis methods for silica-coated with magnetite nanoparticles. From the presented methods, the most used was the Stöber method; there are also other syntheses presented in the review, such as co-precipitation, sol-gel, thermal decomposition, and the hydrothermal method. The second part of the review presents the main applications of magnetite-silica core/shell nanostructures. Magnetite-silica core/shell nanostructures have promising biomedical applications in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a contrast agent, hyperthermia, drug delivery systems, and selective cancer therapy but also in developing magnetic micro devices.

Abstract
This review covers extensively the synthesis & surface modification, characterization, and application of magnetic nanoparticles. For biomedical applications, consideration should be given to factors such as design strategies, the synthesis process, coating, and surface passivation. The synthesis method regulates post-synthetic change and specific applications in vitro and in vivo imaging/diagnosis and pharmacotherapy/administration. Special insights have been provided on biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity in a living system, which is imperative for their wider application in biology. These nanoparticles can be decorated with multiple contrast agents and thus can also be used as a probe for multi-mode imaging or double/triple imaging, for example, MRI-CT, MRI-PET. Similarly loading with different drug molecules/dye/fluorescent molecules and integration with other carriers have found application not only in locating these particles in vivo but simultaneously target drug delivery/hyperthermia inside the body. Studies are underway to collect the potential of these magnetically driven nanoparticles in various scientific fields such as particle interaction, heat conduction, imaging, and magnetism. Surely, this comprehensive data will help in the further development of advanced techniques for theranostics based on high-performance magnetic nanoparticles and will lead this research area in a new sustainable direction.

Abstract
In the last few decades, utilization of medicinal plants by the pharmaceutical industry has led to the identification of many new bioactive compounds. The genus Pterodon, native of the Brazilian Flora, is known for the therapeutic properties attributed to its species, which are widely used in popular medicine for their anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, tonic, and depurative properties. The intrinsic low water solubility of the plant derivatives from the genus, including diterpenes with vouacapane skeletons that are partially associated with the pharmacological activities, impairs the bioavailability of these bioactive compounds. Recent studies have aimed to encapsulate Pterodon products to improve their water solubility, achieve stability, increase their efficacy, and allow clinical applications. The purpose of this paper is to review recent research on the use of nanotechnology for the development of new products from plant derivatives of the Pterodon genus in different types of micro- and nanocarriers. Therapeutic properties of their different products are also presented. Finally, an update about the current and future applications of encapsulated formulations is provided.

Abstract
Combining iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in one nanostructure is a promising technique for various applications. Fe3O4 NPs have special supermagnetic attributes that allow them to be applied in different areas, and Au NPs stand out in biomaterials due to their oxidation resistance, chemical stability, and unique optical properties. Recent studies have generally defined the physicochemical properties of nanostructures without concentrating on a particular formation strategy. This detailed review provides a summary of the latest research on the formation strategy and applications of Fe3O4@Au. The diverse methods of synthesis of Fe3O4@Au NPs with different basic organic and inorganic improvements are introduced. The role and applicability of Au coating on the surface of Fe3O4 NPs schemes were explored. The 40 most relevant publications were identified and reviewed. The versatility of combining Fe3O4@Au NPs as an option for medical application is proven in catalysis, hyperthermia, biomedical imaging, drug delivery and protein separation.

Abstract
There are growing appeals forthe design of efficacious treatment options for non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) as it accrues to ~ 85% cases of lung cancer. Although platinum-based doublet chemotherapy has been the main therapeutic intervention in NSCLC management, this leads to myriad of problems including intolerability to the doublet regimens and detrimental side effects due to high doses. A new approach is therefore needed and warrants the design of targeted drug delivery systems that can halt tumor proliferation and metastasis by targeting key molecules, while exhibiting minimal side effects and toxicity. This review aims to explore the rational design of magnetic nanoparticles for the development of tumor-targeting systems for NSCLC. In the review, we explore the anticancer merits of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and provide a concise incursion into its application for the invention of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles in the targeted treatment of NSCLC. Recent nanoparticle-based targeted chemotherapies for targeting angiogenesis biomarkers in NSCLC will also be reviewed to further highlight versatility of magnetic nanoparticles. These developments through molecular tuning at the nanoscale and supported by comprehensive pre-clinical studies could lead to the establishment of precise nanosystems for tumor-homing cancer therapy.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles are of interest for biomedical applications because of their biocompatibility, tunable surface chemistry, and actuation using applied magnetic fields. Magnetic nanoparticles respond to time-varying magnetic fields via physical particle rotation or internal dipole reorientation, which can result in signal generation or conversion of magnetic energy to heat. This dynamic magnetization response enables their use as tracers in magnetic particle imaging (MPI), an emerging biomedical imaging modality in which signal is quantitative of tracer mass and there is no tissue background signal or signal attenuation. Conversion of magnetic energy to heat motivates use in nanoscale thermal cancer therapy, magnetic actuation of drug release, and rapid rewarming of cryopreserved organs. This review introduces basic concepts of magnetic nanoparticle response to time-varying magnetic fields and presents recent advances in the field, with an emphasis on MPI and conversion of magnetic energy to heat.

Abstract
Artificial vascular treatment is an emerging interdisciplinary subject of medicine. Although the use of artificial vessels has led to many successful advancements, blood clotting remains a major challenge, especially in terms of mural clots created along the vessel wall that do not completely block the vessel. The main objective of this study is to present a method for declotting artificial vessels. This research introduces a novel thrombectomy technique in artificial vessels by employing nano-magnetic particles under a rotating magnetic field to remove mural clots in artificial vessels. A mathematical model describes the relationship between process parameters. In vitro tests confirm the feasibility of nano-magnetic thrombectomy in cleaning and declotting artificial vessels. The results show that the clot fragments are nano-sized, which eliminates the risk of distal emboli as a concern of using current atherectomy techniques. Meanwhile, no damage to the artificial vessels is observed. The results show that the frequency of rotating the magnetic field has the greatest effect on clot removal. The conceptual principles stated in this study also have the potential to be used in other vascular depositions, such as the accumulation of lipids, and calcification atherosclerosis.
