Abstract
Magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs), consisting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), have enormous exploration and application potentials due to their superior physical and chemical properties, such as unique magnetism and high enrichment performance. This review concentrates on the rapid advances in the synthesis and application of magnetic carbon nanotubes. Great progress has been made in the preparation of MCNTs by developing methods including chemical vapor deposition, pyrolysis procedure, sol-gel process, template-based synthesis, filling process and hydrothermal/solvothermal method. Various applications of MCNTs as a mediator of the adsorbent in magnetic solid-phase extraction, sensors, antibacterial agents, and imaging system contrast agents, and in drug delivery and catalysis are discussed. In order to overcome the drawbacks of MCNTs, such as sidewall damage, lack of convincing quantitative characterization methods, toxicity and environmental impact, and deficiency of extraction performance, researchers proposed some solutions in recent years. We systematically review the latest advances in MCNTs and discuss the direction of future development.

Abstract
In recent times, phytochemicals encapsulated or conjugated with nanocarriers for delivery to the specific sites have gained considerable research interest. Phytochemicals are mostly plant secondary metabolites which reported to be beneficial for human health and in disease theraphy. However, these compound are large size and polar nature of these compounds, make it difficult to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), endothelial lining of blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract and mucosa. Moreover, they are enzymatically degraded in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, encapsulation or conjugation of these compounds with nanocrriers could be an alternate way to enhance their bioefficacy by influencing their gastrointestinal stability, rate of absorption and dispersion. This review presents an overview of nanocarriers alternatives which improves therapeutic value and avoid toxicity, by releasing bioactive compounds specifically at target tissues with enhanced stability and bioavailability. Future investigations may emphasize on deciphering the structural changes in nanocarriers during digestion and absorption, the difference between in-vitro and in-vivo digestion simulations, and impact of nanocarriers on the metabolism of phytochemicals.

Abstract
Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) is a highly promising therapeutic modality for the treatment of different kinds of cancers and malignant tumors. The therapy is based on the concept that; iron oxide nanoparticles deposited at cancer sites can generate heat when exposed to an alternating current magnetic field or near infrared radiation and consequently destroying only the cancer cells by exploiting their vulnerability to heat. The fact that the treatment is at molecular level and that iron oxide nanoparticles provide more guided focus heating justifies its efficacy over treatment such as surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Nevertheless, the spread of MHT as the next-generation therapeutics has been shadowed by insufficient heating especially at the in vivo stage. This can be averted by modifying the iron oxide nanoparticle structure. To this end, various attempts have been made by developing a magnetic hybrid nanostructure capable of generating efficient heat. However, the synthesis method for each component (of the magnetic hybrid nanostructure) and the grafting process is now an issue. This has a direct effect on the performance of the magnetic hybrid nanostructure in MHT and other applications. The main objective of this review is to detail out the different materials, methods and characterization techniques that have been used so far in developing magnetic hybrid nanostructure. In view of this, we conducted a comprehensive review and present a road map for developing a magnetic hybrid nanostructure that is capable of generating optimum heat during MHT. We further summarize the various characterization techniques and necessary parameters to study in validating the efficiency of the magnetic hybrid nanostructure. Hopefully, this contribution will serve as a guide to researchers that are willing to evaluate the properties of their magnetic hybrid nanostructure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) show great promise as theranostic agents due to their drug delivery properties, intrinsic near-infrared radiation-responsiveness, and magnetic functionalization. However, temperature elevation caused by these external stimuli during drug delivery should be considered for the evaluation of CNT-based systems loaded with temperature-sensitive biomolecules. METHODS We examine the thermal stability of a 33 nucleotides long hairpin miRNA encapsulated in (20,20) CNT using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations in explicit water. We systematically increase the temperature as 298, 310, 327, and 343 K, reaching the melting temperature of miRNA. To emphasize the effect of the aromatic confined space, we compare the dynamics of miRNA inside the CNT to its dynamics free in the solution at the same temperatures, reaching a total simulation time of 7.9 μs. RESULTS miRNA hairpin mostly maintains its double-stranded structure in the confined CNT, even at elevated temperatures. Binding free energies and potential of mean force calculations also underline the strong π-π interactions between the biomolecule and the CNT for 298-343 K. CONCLUSION The let-7 miRNA mimic, which represents a wide family of RNAi-based therapeutics, can be transported in the CNT under medically applied hyperthermic conditions. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This study shows how the structure and dynamics of miRNA hairpin are affected when encapsulated in an aromatic tube, during a systematic increase of temperature. It also indicates the high potential of CNT-based systems for the delivery of oligonucleotide therapeutics while simultaneous imaging/magnetic field guiding to the target tissue is achieved.

Abstract
Local targeted "inside-out" hyperthermia of tumors via nanoparticles is able to sensitize tumor cells to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, or other effects, significantly reducing the duration and intensity of treatment. In this article, new nanomaterials are proposed to be used as anticancer agents: boron-doped nanodiamonds with sizes of about 10 nm synthesized for the first time by the high-temperature high-pressure (HTHP) method. The heating ability of boron-doped nanodiamonds was investigated under different heating conditions in different environments: water, chicken egg white, and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It was discovered that, with the same conversion of the absorbed energy into heat, the ability to heat the environment when excited at a wavelength of 808 nm of boron-doped nanodiamonds is much higher than that of detonation nanodiamonds. It was established that boron-doped nanodiamonds are extremely promising for carrying out hyperthermia and thermoablation of tumors.

Abstract
Recently, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) based on manganite perovskites (La1-xSrxMnO3 or LSMO) and/or spinel ferrites (i.e. SPFs with the formula MFe2O4; M=Co, Mg, Mn, Ni and Zn and mixed SPFs (e.g. Co-Zn, Mg-Mn, Mn-Zn and/or Ni-Zn)) have garnered great interest in magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) as heat-inducing agents due to their tuneable magnetic properties including Curie temperature (T c) to generate controllable therapeutic temperatures (i.e. 42 °C-45 °C)-under the application of an alternating magnetic field (AMF)-for the treatment of cancer. In addition, these nanoparticles are also utilized in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as contrast-enhancing agents. However, the employment of the LSMO/SPF-based MNPs in these MHT/MRI applications is majorly influenced by their inherent properties, which are mainly tuned by the synthesis factors. Therefore, in this review article, we have systematically discussed the significant chemical methods used to synthesize the LSMO/SPF-based MNPs and their corresponding intrinsic physicochemical properties (size/shape/crystallinity/dispersibility) and/or magnetic properties (including saturation magnetization (M s)/T c). Then, we have analyzed the usage of these MNPs for the effective imaging of cancerous tumors via MRI. Finally, we have reviewed in detail the heating capability (in terms of specific absorption rate) of the LSMO/SPF-based MNPs under calorimetric/biological conditions for efficient cancer treatment via MHT. Herein, we have mainly considered the significant parameters-such as size, surface coating (nature and amount), stoichiometry, concentration and the applied AMFs (including amplitude (H) and frequency (f))-that influence the heat induction ability of these MNPs.
