Abstract
Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyurethane (PU) nanofibers were synthesized by simple and coaxial electrospinning (ES) processes. Doxorubicin (DOX) and the CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were loaded into the nanofibers. The performance of the prepared nanofibers was investigated for the sustained release of DOX against A541 lung cancer cells under chemotherapy/external magnetic field (EMF) and alternating magnetic field (AMF, hyperthermia treatment) combined methods in both the in vitro and in vivo conditions. The sustained release of DOX from core-shell nanofibers containing 5 wt% cobalt ferrite was obtained within 300, 600 h, at pH of 5.5 and 7.4 without AMF and 168, 360 h, under an alternating magnetic field (AMF). More than 98.3 ± 0.2 % of A549 cancer cells were killed in the presence of core-shell nanofibers containing 100 μg DOX and 5 % cobalt ferrite nanoparticles in the presence of AMF. The flowcytometric results indicated that only 19.1 and 8.85 % cancer cells remained alive under EMF and AMF, respectively. The in vivo results revealed in stopping the growth of tumor volume and decrease in the relative tumor volume up to 0.5 were obtained using magnetic core-shell nanofibers containing 100 μg DOX and 5 % cobalt ferrite nanoparticles in the presence of EMF and AMF, respectively.

Abstract
Electromagnetic fields can penetrate aqueous media in a homogeneous and instantaneous way, without physical contact, independently of its temperature, pressure, agitation degree and without modifying their chemical compositions nor heat and mass transfer conditions. In addition, superparamagnetic biomaterials can interact with electromagnetic fields by absorbing electromagnetic energy and transforming it in localized heat with further diffusion to surrounding media. This paper is devoted to the exploration of the potential use of hyperthermic effects resulting from the interaction between externally applied electromagnetic fields and superparamagnetic nanoparticles as a trigger for controlled drug release in soft tissue simulating materials. Gelatin based soft tissue simulating materials were prepared and doped with superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The materials were irradiated with externally applied electromagnetic fields. The effects on temperature and diffusion of a drug model in water and phosphate buffer were investigated. Significant hyperthermic effects were observed. The temperature of the soft tissue simulating material resulted increased from 35 °C to 45 °C at 2.5 °C min-1. Moreover, the release of an entrapped model drug reached 89%. The intensity of the hyperthermic effects was found to have a strong dependency on the concentration of superparamagnetic nanoparticles and the power and the pulse frequency of the electromagnetic field.

Abstract
Super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs/Fe3O4) were synthesized in aqueous medium under a nitrogen atmosphere. These particles were made water-dispersible by cladding them with tannic acid (TA). The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized for their size and surface charge using HRTEM and zetasizer. It was found that the size of the particles formed was around 15 nm with almost spherical morphology and negative surface charge. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) data attributed a super-paramagnetic nature to these nanoparticles. The photo-thermal dynamics of these magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles was characterized by exciting their dispersions with laser radiation in the visible region (635 nm). Remarkably, 17 min of laser irradiation of the dispersion raised its temperature by ~25 °C (25 to 49.8 °C), whereas for the solvent, it was limited to not more than 4 °C (after 60 min). Thus, the Fe3O4 nanoparticles generated localized hyperthermia for potential use in cancer therapy of tumor management. The photo-thermal dynamics of these nanoparticles was investigated in-vitro for cancer therapy, and it was clearly shown that cancer cell growth was inhibited, and considerable cellular damage occurred when cells were incubated with laser-activated magnetic nanoparticles. No noticeable innate toxicity of the nanoparticles was observed on cancer cell lines. The effectiveness of these nanoparticles was studied on several malignant cell lines, and an acceptable Fe3O4 concentration range was subsequently determined for generating substantial cell death by hyperthermia, but not inherent toxicity. Therefore, we concluded that this nano-system is effective and less time consuming for the treatment of malignant diseases such as cancer.

Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) is a highly localized form of hyperthermia therapy (HT) that has been effective in treating various forms of cancer. Many clinical and preclinical studies have applied MHT to treat aggressive forms of brain cancer and assessed its role as a potential adjuvant to current therapies. Initial results show that MHT has a strong antitumor effect in animal studies and a positive association with overall survival in human glioma patients. Although MHT is a promising therapy with the potential to be incorporated into the future treatment of brain cancer, significant advancement of current MHT technology is required.

Abstract
Objective:Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a still experimental technique found to have a potential application in the treatment of cancer. The method aims to reach around 41 °C-47 °C in the tumor site by exciting magnetic nanoparticles with an externally applied alternating magnetic field (AMF), where cell death is expected to occur. Applying AMFs with high spatial resolution is still a challenge. The AMFs from current and prospective MFH applicators cover relatively large areas; being not suitable for patients having metallic implants near the treatment area. Thus, there will be a clinical need for smaller magnetic field applicators. To this end, a laparoscopic induction heater (LIH) and a transrectal induction heater (TRIH) were developed.Methods:Miniature 'pancake' coils were wound and inserted into 3D printed enclosures. Ovarian (SKOV-3, A2780) and prostate (PC-3, LNCaP) cancer cell lines were used to evaluate the instruments' capabilities in killing cancer cellsin vitro, using Synomag®-D nanoparticles as the heat mediators. NIH3T3 normal cell lines were also used with both devices to observe if these cells tolerated the conditions applied.Results:Magnetic field intensities reached by the LIH and TRIH were 42.6 kA m-1at 326 kHz and 26.3 kA m-1at 303 kHz, respectively. Temperatures reached in the samples were 41 °C by the LIH and 43 °C by the TRIH. Both instruments successfully accomplished killing cancer cells, with minimal effects on normal cells.Conclusion:This work presents the first line of handheld medical induction heaters and have the potential to be a complement to existing cancer therapies.Significance:These instruments could enable the development of MFH modalities that will facilitate the clinical translation of this thermal treatment.

Abstract
With the increase in non-communicable diseases, cancer is becoming one of the most lethal ailments of the coming decades. Significant progress has been made in the development of NPs that combine diagnostic and therapeutic properties in a single system. Multimodal NPs that sequentially perform MRI diagnostics with increased contrast and then act as synergistic agents for magnetic hyperthermia and radiotherapy can be considered as next-generation anticancer drugs. Thus, we propose a systematic study of composite theranostic ZnFe2O4@MnFe2O4 NPs for the first time. Two types of magnetic NPs with MnFe2O4 shell thicknesses of 0.5 (ZM0.5) and 1.7 nm (ZM3) were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis. Tuning the shell thickness was shown to influence the NP r2 and r1 relaxivities and allow T1-T2 dual-mode contrast agents to be obtained. A radiotherapy study demonstrated a significant dose factor enhancement (about 40%) for both NP types. The specific absorption rate of ZM3 in a 100 Oe alternating magnetic field with a frequency of 75 kHz was found to be 8 W g-1, which results in heating up to 42 °C within a few seconds. This work presents high-performance multifunctional NPs capable of combining different diagnostic and therapeutic methods for a full course of treatment using only one type of NP.

Abstract
As a safe and minimal-invasive modality, thermal therapy has become an effective treatment in cancer treatment. Other than killing the tumor cells or destroying the tumor entirely, the thermal modality results in profound molecular, cellular and biological effects on both the targeted tissue, surrounding environments, and even the whole body, which has triggered the combination of the thermal therapy with other traditional therapies as chemotherapy and radiation therapy or new therapies like immunotherapy, gene therapy, etc. The combined treatments have shown encouraging therapeutic effects both in research and clinic. In this review, we have summarized the outcomes of the existing synergistic therapies, the underlying mechanisms that lead to these improvements, and the latest research in the past five years. Limitations and future directions of synergistic thermal therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
Development of multifunctional magnetic nanomaterials (MNPs) with improved heat-generating capabilities and effective combination with localized chemotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic regime for solid tumors like glioblastoma. In this regard, the shape-dependent hyperthermic and chemo-therapeutic potential of nanomaterials, has not been extensively explored. Here we present, development of various morphological designs of MNPs including spherical, clusters, rods and cubic; to compare the effect of shape on tuning the properties of MNPs that are relevant to many potential biomedical applications like drug delivery, cellular uptake and heat generation. The study includes extensive comparison of morpho-structural characteristics, size distributions, chemical composition, surface area measurements and magnetic properties of the variable shaped MNPs. Further the heating efficiencies in aqueous and cellular environments and heat triggered drug release profiles for successful magneto-chemotherapy were compared among all in-house synthesized MNPs. Under biosafety limit considerations given by Hergt's limit (H*f value <5 × 109 Am-1 s-1), cuboidal shaped MNPs demonstrated highest heating efficiency owing to magnetosome-like chain formation along with sustained drug release profile as compared to other synthesized MNPs. The mechanism of cancer cell death mediated via magneto-chemotherapy was elucidated to be the oxidative stress-mediated apoptotic cell death pathway. In vivo studies further demonstrated complete tumor regression only in the magneto-chemotherapy treated group. These findings suggest the potential of combinatorial therapy to overcome the clinical limitations of the independent therapies for advanced thermotherapy of glioblastoma.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a devastating disease in which endometrial-like tissue forms lesions outside the uterus. It causes infertility and severe pelvic pain in ≈176 million women worldwide, and there is currently no cure for this disease. Magnetic hyperthermia could potentially eliminate widespread endometriotic lesions but has not previously been considered for treatment because conventional magnetic nanoparticles have relatively low heating efficiency and can only provide ablation temperatures (>46 °C) following direct intralesional injection. This study is the first to describe nanoparticles that enable systemically delivered magnetic hyperthermia for endometriosis treatment. When subjected to an alternating magnetic field (AMF), these hexagonal iron-oxide nanoparticles exhibit extraordinary heating efficiency that is 6.4× greater than their spherical counterparts. Modifying nanoparticles with a peptide targeted to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) enhances their endometriosis specificity. Studies in mice bearing transplants of macaque endometriotic tissue reveal that, following intravenous injection at a low dose (3 mg per kg), these nanoparticles efficiently accumulate in endometriotic lesions, selectively elevate intralesional temperature above 50 °C upon exposure to external AMF, and completely eradicate them with a single treatment. These nanoparticles also demonstrate promising potential as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for precise detection of endometriotic tissue before AMF application.

Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) is a therapeutic modality for the treatment of solid tumors that has now accumulated more than 30 years of experience. In the ongoing MHT clinical trials for the treatment of brain and prostate tumors, iron oxide nanoparticles are employed as intra-tumoral MHT agents under a patient-safe 100 kHz alternating magnetic field (AMF) applicator. Although iron oxide nanoparticles are currently approved by FDA for imaging purposes and for the treatment of anemia, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) designed for the efficient treatment of MHT must respond to specific physical-chemical properties in terms of magneto-energy conversion, heat dose production, surface chemistry and aggregation state. Accordingly, in the past few decades, these requirements have boosted the development of a new generation of MNPs specifically aimed for MHT. In this review, we present an overview on MNPs and their assemblies produced via different synthetic routes, focusing on which MNP features have allowed unprecedented heating efficiency levels to be achieved in MHT and highlighting nanoplatforms that prevent magnetic heat loss in the intracellular environment. Moreover, we review the advances on MNP-based nanoplatforms that embrace the concept of multimodal therapy, which aims to combine MHT with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, photodynamic or phototherapy. Next, for a better control of the therapeutic temperature at the tumor, we focus on the studies that have optimized MNPs to maintain gold-standard MHT performance and are also tackling MNP imaging with the aim to quantitatively assess the amount of nanoparticles accumulated at the tumor site and regulate the MHT field conditions. To conclude, future perspectives with guidance on how to advance MHT therapy will be provided.

Abstract
Supramolecular interactions represent versatile, reversible, and intrinsic mechanisms for bond formation after the failure of materials. Ionic interactions excel through high flexibility and binding strength. In this study, ionic interactions between polymer matrices and inorganic nanoparticles were used to induce self-healing properties. Random, anionic polyelectrolyte copolymers consisting of di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate and sodium-4-(methacryloyloxy)butan-1-sulfonate were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements confirmed the adjustability of the glass transition temperature via the polymer composition. Within the glass transition temperature window of the homopolymers from -23 °C to 126 °C, the range between -18 °C to 50 °C was examined, generating suitable matrices for self-healing. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with a size of 8 nm were synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron(iii) acetylacetonate and used as the inorganic filler. Positive surface charges were introduced by functionalization with N,N,N-trimethyl-6-phosphonhexan-1-aminium bromide. Functionalization was confirmed with FTIR, TGA, and zeta potential measurements. Ionic interactions between filler and polymer promote a uniform particle dispersion within the material. Self-healing experiments were performed at 80 °C and without the addition of further healing agents. Utilizing the magnetic properties induced by the iron oxide nanoparticles, spatially resolved healing within an alternating magnetic field was achieved on a μm scale.

Abstract
The review discusses the theoretical, experimental and toxicological aspects of the prospective biomedical application of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) activated by a low frequency non-heating alternating magnetic field (AMF). In this approach, known as nano-magnetomechanical activation (NMMA), the MNPs are used as mediators that localize and apply force to such target biomolecular structures as enzyme molecules, transport vesicles, cell organelles, etc., without significant heating. It is shown that NMMA can become a biophysical platform for a family of therapy methods including the addressed delivery and controlled release of therapeutic agents from transport nanomodules, as well as selective molecular nanoscale localized drugless nanomechanical impacts. It is characterized by low system biochemical and electromagnetic toxicity. A technique of 3D scanning of the NMMA region with the size of several mm to several cm over object internals has been described.

Abstract
Composite materials are made from two or more constituent materials with distinct physical or chemical properties that, when combined, produce a material with characteristics which are at least to some degree different from its individual components. Nanocomposite materials are composed of different materials of which at least one has nanoscale dimensions. Common types of nanocomposites consist of a combination of two different elements, with a nanoparticle that is linked to, or surrounded by, another organic or inorganic material, for example in a core-shell or heterostructure configuration. A general family of nanoparticle composites concerns the coating of a nanoscale material by a polymer, SiO2 or carbon. Other materials, such as graphene or graphene oxide (GO), are used as supports forming composites when nanoscale materials are deposited onto them. In this Review we focus on magnetic nanocomposites, describing their synthetic methods, physical properties and applications. Several types of nanocomposites are presented, according to their composition, morphology or surface functionalization. Their applications are largely due to the synergistic effects that appear thanks to the co-existence of two different materials and to their interface, resulting in properties often better than those of their single-phase components. Applications discussed concern magnetically separable catalysts, water treatment, diagnostics-sensing and biomedicine.

Abstract
Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) has been widely investigated as a treatment tool for cancer and other diseases. However, focusing traditional MFH to a tumor deep in the body is not feasible because the in vivo wavelength of 300 kHz very low frequency (VLF) excitation fields is longer than 100 m. Recently we demonstrated that millimeter-precision localized heating can be achieved by combining magnetic particle imaging (MPI) with MFH. In principle, real-time MPI imaging can also guide the location and dosing of MFH treatments. Hence, the combination of MPI imaging plus real time localized MPI-MFH could soon permit closed-loop high-resolution hyperthermia treatment. In this review, we will discuss the fundamentals of localized MFH (e.g. physics and biosafety limitations), hardware implementation, MPI real-time guidance, and new research directions on MPI-MFH. We will also discuss how the scale up to human-sized MPI-MFH scanners could proceed.

Abstract
The design, synthesis and characterization of new nanomaterials represents one of the most dynamic and transversal aspects of nanotechnology applications in the biomedical field. New synthetic and engineering improvements allow the design of a wide range of biocompatible nanostructured materials (NSMs) and nanoparticles (NPs) which, with or without additional chemical and/or biomolecular surface modifications, are more frequently employed in applications for successful diagnostic, drug delivery and therapeutic procedures. Metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) including metal NPs, metal oxide NPs, quantum dots (QDs) and magnetic NPs, thanks to their physical and chemical properties have gained much traction for their functional use in biomedicine. In this review it is highlighted how the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in many respects could be considered a negative aspect of the interaction of MNPs with biological matter, may be a surprising nanotechnology weapon. From the exchange of knowledge between branches such as materials science, nanotechnology, engineering, biochemistry and medicine, researchers and clinicians are setting and standardizing treatments by tuning ROS production to induce cancer or microbial cell death.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is a rapidly growing field that uses nanomaterials for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of various diseases, including cancer. Various biocompatible nanoplatforms with diversified capabilities for tumor targeting, imaging, and therapy have materialized to yield individualized therapy. However, due to their unique properties brought about by their small size, safety concerns have emerged as their physicochemical properties can lead to altered pharmacokinetics, with the potential to cross biological barriers. In addition, the intrinsic toxicity of some of the inorganic materials (i.e., heavy metals) and their ability to accumulate and persist in the human body has been a challenge to their translation. Successful clinical translation of these nanoparticles is heavily dependent on their stability, circulation time, access and bioavailability to disease sites, and their safety profile. This review covers preclinical and clinical inorganic-nanoparticle based nanomaterial utilized for cancer imaging and therapeutics. A special emphasis is put on the rational design to develop non-toxic/safe inorganic nanoparticle constructs to increase their viability as translatable nanomedicine for cancer therapies.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel therapy for prostate cancer based on systemically delivered magnetic hyperthermia. Conventional magnetic hyperthermia is a form of thermal therapy where magnetic nanoparticles delivered to cancer sites via intratumoral administration produce heat in the presence of an alternating magnetic field (AMF). To employ this therapy for prostate cancer tumors that are challenging to inject intratumorally, we designed novel nanoclusters with enhanced heating efficiency that reach prostate cancer tumors after systemic administration and generate desirable intratumoral temperatures upon exposure to an AMF. Our nanoclusters are based on hydrophobic iron oxide nanoparticles doped with zinc and manganese. To overcome the challenges associated with the poor water solubility of the synthesized nanoparticles, the solvent evaporation approach was employed to encapsulate and cluster them within the hydrophobic core of PEG-PCL (methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone))-based polymeric nanoparticles. Animal studies demonstrated that, following intravenous injection into mice bearing prostate cancer grafts, the nanoclusters efficiently accumulated in cancer tumors within several hours and increased the intratumoral temperature above 42 °C upon exposure to an AMF. Finally, the systemically delivered magnetic hyperthermia significantly inhibited prostate cancer growth and did not exhibit any signs of toxicity.

Abstract
Local heat generation from magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) exposed to alternating magnetic fields can revolutionize cancer treatment. However, the application of MNPs as anticancer agents is limited by serious drawbacks. Foremost among these are the fast uptake and biodegradation of MNPs by cells and the unpredictable magnetic behavior of the MNPs when they accumulate within or around cells and tissues. In fact, several studies have reported that the heating power of MNPs is severely reduced in the cellular environment, probably due to a combination of increased viscosity and strong NP agglomeration. Herein, we present an optimized protocol to coat magnetite (Fe3O4) NPs larger than 20 nm (FM-NPs) with high molecular weight PEG molecules that avoid collective coatings, prevent the formation of large clusters of NPs and keep constant their high heating performance in environments with very different ionic strengths and viscosities (distilled water, physiological solutions, agar and cell culture media). The great reproducibility and reliability of the heating capacity of this FM-NP@PEG system in such different environments has been confirmed by AC magnetometry and by more conventional calorimetric measurements. The explanation of this behavior has been shown to lie in preserving as much as possible the magnetic single domain-type behavior of nearly isolated NPs. In vitro endocytosis experiments in a colon cancer-derived cell line indicate that FM-NP@PEG formulations with PEGs of higher molecular weight (20 kDa) are more resistant to endocytosis than formulations with smaller PEGs (5 kDa), showing quite large uptake mean-life (τ > 5 h) in comparison with other NP systems. The in vitro magnetic hyperthermia was performed at 21 mT and 650 kHz during 1 h in a pre-endocytosis stage and complete cell death was achieved 48 h posthyperthermia. These optimal FM-NP@PEG formulations with high resistance to endocytosis and predictable magnetic response will aid the progress and accuracy of the emerging era of theranostics.

Abstract
Moderate hyperthermia at temperatures between 40 and 44°C is a multifaceted therapeutic modality. It is a potent radiosensitizer, interacts favorably with a host of chemotherapeutic agents, and, in combination with radiotherapy, enforces immunomodulation akin to “in situ tumor vaccination.” By sensitizing hypoxic tumor cells and inhibiting repair of radiotherapy-induced DNA damage, the properties of hyperthermia delivered together with photons might provide a tumor-selective therapeutic advantage analogous to high linear energy transfer (LET) neutrons, but with less normal tissue toxicity. Furthermore, the high LET attributes of hyperthermia thermoradiobiologically are likely to enhance low LET protons; thus, proton thermoradiotherapy would mimic 12C ion therapy. Hyperthermia with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy substantially improves therapeutic outcomes without enhancing normal tissue morbidities, yielding level I evidence reported in several randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses for various tumor sites. Technological advancements in hyperthermia delivery, advancements in hyperthermia treatment planning, online invasive and non-invasive MR-guided thermometry, and adherence to quality assurance guidelines have ensured safe and effective delivery of hyperthermia to the target region. Novel biological modeling permits integration of hyperthermia and radiotherapy treatment plans. Further, hyperthermia along with immune checkpoint inhibitors and DNA damage repair inhibitors could further augment the therapeutic efficacy resulting in synthetic lethality. Additionally, hyperthermia induced by magnetic nanoparticles coupled to selective payloads, namely, tumor-specific radiotheranostics (for both tumor imaging and radionuclide therapy), chemotherapeutic drugs, immunotherapeutic agents, and gene silencing, could provide a comprehensive tumor-specific theranostic modality akin to “magic (nano)bullets.” To get a realistic overview of the strength (S), weakness (W), opportunities (O), and threats (T) of hyperthermia, a SWOT analysis has been undertaken. Additionally, a TOWS analysis categorizes future strategies to facilitate further integration of hyperthermia with the current treatment modalities. These could gainfully accomplish a safe, versatile, and cost-effective enhancement of the existing therapeutic armamentarium to improve outcomes in clinical oncology.

Abstract
In this work, we studied structural and magnetic properties of 18 nm sized Zn-substituted magnetite, 28 nm sized unsubstituted and 17 nm sized (Mn, Zn)-substituted iron oxide nanoparticles, synthesized by thermal decomposition method. Their features were examined by analyzing the x-ray diffraction data, 57Fe Mössbauer spectra and magnetization measurements by SQUID interferometer. The microstructure was inspected comparing the different size and strain broadening models incorporated into Fullprof software. In terms of crystallinity and size dispersion, applied synthesis protocol shows superiority over decomposition of iron oleate and the co-precipitation synthesis route. The saturation magnetization at T = 5 K was found to be within the M S = 91.2-98.6 A m2 kg-1 range, while at 300 K M S of pure and Zn-substituted Fe3O4 nanoparticles is 83.6 and 86.2 A m2 kg-1, respectively. Effective magnetic anisotropy constant K eff, estimated under slow measurements by SQUID, is below 20 kJ m-3 in all three samples. Some preliminary measurements of the magnetic hyperthermia performance, expressed via specific absorption rate value showed that the best heating performances were displayed by 18 nm sized oleic acid-coated Zn0.13Fe2.87O4 cubo-octahedrons with SAR ≅ 425 W/gFe at H 0 = 20 kA m-1 and f = 228 kHz.

Abstract
Intelligent drug delivery systems based on nanotechnology have been widely developed and investigated in the field of nanomedicine since they were able to maximize the therapeutic efficacy and minimize the undesirable adverse effects. Among a variety of organic or inorganic nanomaterials available to fabricate drug delivery systems (DDSs) for cancer therapy and diagnosis, poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been extensively employed due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this paper, we review the recent status of research on the application of PLGA-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) in remotely triggered cancer therapy and the strategies for tumor imaging provided by PLGA-based DDSs. We firstly discuss the employment of PLGA-based DDSs for remotely triggered cancer therapy, including photo-triggered, ultrasound-triggered, magnetic field-triggered, and radiofrequency-triggered cancer therapy. Photo-triggered cancer therapy involves photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and photo-triggered chemotherapeutics release. Ultrasound-triggered cancer therapy involves high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment, ultrasound-triggered chemotherapeutics release, and ultrasound-enhanced efficiency of gene transfection. The strategies which endows PLGA-based DDSs with imaging properties and the PLGA-based cancer theranostics are further discussed. Additionally, we also discuss the targeting strategies which provide PLGA-based DDSs with passive, active or magnetic tumor-targeting abilities. Numerous studies cited in our review demonstrate the great potential of PLGA-based DDSs as effective theranostic agent for cancer therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Until now, magnetic hyperthermia was used to remove solid tumors by targeting magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to tumor sites. In this study, leukemia cells in the bloodstream were directly removed by whole-body hyperthermia, using leukemia cell-specific MNPs. An epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (EpCAM) antibody was immobilized on the surface of MNPs (EpCAM-MNPs) to introduce the specificity of MNPs to leukemia cells. The viability of THP1 cells (human monocytic leukemia cells) was decreased to 40.8% of that in control samples by hyperthermia using EpCAM-MNPs. In AKR mice, an animal model of lymphoblastic leukemia, the number of leukemia cells was measured following the intravenous injection of EpCAM-MNPs and subsequent whole-body hyperthermia treatment. The result showed that the leukemia cell number was also decreased to 43.8% of that without the treatment of hyperthermia, determined by Leishman staining of leukemia cells. To support the results, simulation analysis of heat transfer from MNPs to leukemia cells was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software. The surface temperature of leukemia cells adhered to EpCAM-MNPs was predicted to be increased to 82 °C, whereas the temperature of free cells without adhered MNPs was predicted to be 38 °C. Taken together, leukemia cells were selectively removed by magnetic hyperthermia from the bloodstream, because EpCAM-modified magnetic particles were specifically attached to leukemia cell surfaces. This approach has the potential to remove metastatic cancer cells, and pathogenic bacteria and viruses floating in the bloodstream.

Abstract
Background Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH) is a promising adjuvant for chemotherapy, potentiating the action of anticancer agents. However, drug delivery to cancer cells must be optimized to improve the overall therapeutic effect of drug/MFH combination treatments. Purpose The aim of this work was to demonstrate the potentiation of 2-phenylethynesulfonamide (PES) at various combination treatments with MFH, using low-intensity ultrasound as an intracellular delivery enhancer. Methods The effect of ultrasound (US), MFH, and PES was first evaluated individually and then as combination treatments. Definity® microbubbles and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated iron oxide nanoparticles were used to induce cell sonoporation and MFH, respectively. Assessment of cell membrane permeabilization was evaluated via fluorescence microscopy, iron uptake by cells was quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and cell viability was determined using automatic cell counting. Results Notable reductions in cancer cell viability were observed when ultrasound was incorporated. For example, the treatment US+PES reduced cell viability by 37% compared to the non-toxic effect of the drug. Similarly, the treatment US+MFH using mild hyperthermia (41°C), reduced cell viability by an additional 18% when compared to the effect of MH alone. Significant improvements were observed for the combination of US+PES+MFH with cell viability reduced by an additional 26% compared to the PES+MFH group. The improved cytotoxicity was attributed to enhanced drug/nanoparticle intracellular delivery, with iron uptake values nearly twice those achieved without ultrasound. Various treatment schedules were examined, and all of them showed substantial cell death, indicating that the time elapsed between sonoporation and magnetic field exposure was not significant. Conclusion Superior cancer cell-killing patterns took place when ultrasound was incorporated thus demonstrating the in vitro ultrasonic potentiation of PES and mild MFH. This work demonstrated that ultrasound is a promising non-invasive enhancer of PES/MFH combination treatments, aiming to establish a sono-thermo-chemotherapy in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
In nanoplatform-based tumor treatment, combining chemotherapy with hyperthermia therapy is an interesting strategy to achieve enhanced therapeutic efficacy with low dose of delivery drugs. Compared to photothermal therapy, magnetic hyperthermia has few restrictions on penetrating tissue by an alternating magnetic field, and thereby could cure various solid tumors, even deep-tissue ones. In this work, we proposed to construct magnetic nanocomposites (Fe3O4@PDA@ZIF-90) by the external growth of metal-organic framework ZIF-90 on polydopamine (PDA)-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles for synergistic magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy. In such multifunctional platform, Fe3O4 nanoparticle was utilized as a magnetic heating seed, PDA layer acted as an inducer for the growth of ZIF-90 shell and porous ZIF-90 shell served as drug nanocarrier to load doxorubicin (DOX). The well-defined Fe3O4@PDA@ZIF-90 core-shell nanoparticles were displayed with an average size of ca. 200 nm and possessed the abilities to load high capacity of DOX as well as trigger drug release in a pH-responsive way. Furthermore, the Fe3O4@PDA@ZIF-90 nanoparticles can raise the local temperature to meet hyperthermia condition under an alternating magnetic field owing to the magnetocaloric effect of Fe3O4 cores. In the in vitro experiments, the Fe3O4@PDA@ZIF-90 nanoparticles showed a negligible cytotoxicity to Hela cells. More significantly, after cellular internalization, the DOX-loaded Fe3O4@PDA@ZIF-90 nanoparticles exhibited distinctively synergistic effect to kill tumor cells with higher efficacy compared to chemotherapy or magnetic hyperthermia alone, presenting a great potential for efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
This review focuses on the biomedical applications and toxicity of spinel ferrite nanoparticles (SFNPs) with more emphasis on the recently published work. A critical review is provided on recent advances of SFNPs applications in biomedical areas. The novelty of SFNPs in addressing the bottleneck problems encountered in the areas of health; in particular, for diagnosis and treatment of tumour cells are well reviewed. Furthermore, research gaps, toxicity of SFNPs and areas which still need more attention are highlighted. Based on the result of this review, the SFNPs have unlimited capacity in cancer treatment, disease diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery and release. Overall, stepping out of the conventional way of treatment is difficult but also essential in bringing long lasting solution for cancer and other diseases treatment. In fact, the toxicity study and commercialisation of the SFNPs based cancer treatment options are the main challenges and need further study, in order to reduce unforeseen consequences.

Abstract
Despite its promising therapeutic potential, nanoparticle-mediated magnetic hyperthermia is currently limited to the treatment of localized and relatively accessible cancer tumors because the required therapeutic temperatures above 40 °C can only be achieved by direct intratumoral injection of conventional iron oxide nanoparticles. To realize the true potential of magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment, there is an unmet need for nanoparticles with high heating capacity that can efficiently accumulate at tumor sites following systemic administration and generate desirable intratumoral temperatures upon exposure to an alternating magnetic field (AMF). Although there have been many attempts to develop the desired nanoparticles, reported animal studies reveal the challenges associated with reaching therapeutically relevant intratumoral temperatures following systemic administration at clinically relevant doses. Therefore, we developed efficient magnetic nanoclusters with enhanced heating efficiency for systemically delivered magnetic hyperthermia that are composed of cobalt- and manganese-doped, hexagon-shaped iron oxide nanoparticles (CoMn-IONP) encapsulated in biocompatible PEG-PCL (poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(ε-caprolactone))-based nanocarriers. Animal studies validated that the developed nanoclusters are nontoxic, efficiently accumulate in ovarian cancer tumors following a single intravenous injection, and elevate intratumoral temperature up to 44 °C upon exposure to safe and tolerable AMF. Moreover, the obtained results confirmed the efficiency of the nanoclusters to generate the required intratumoral temperature after repeated injections and demonstrated that nanocluster-mediated magnetic hyperthermia significantly inhibits cancer growth. In summary, this nanoplatform is a milestone in the development of systemically delivered magnetic hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer tumors that are difficult to access for intratumoral injection.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOn) are widely used as a contrast agent for cell labeling. Macrophages are the first line of defense of organisms in contact with nanoparticles after their administration. In this study we investigated the effect of silica-coated nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3-SiO2) with or without modification by an ascorbic acid (γ-Fe2O3-SiO2-ASA), which is meant to act as an antioxidative agent on rat peritoneal macrophages. Both types of nanoparticles were phagocytosed by macrophages in large amounts as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and Prusian blue staining, however they did not substantially affect the viability of exposed cells in monitored intervals. We further explored cytotoxic effects related to oxidative stress, which is frequently documented in cells exposed to nanoparticles. Our analysis of double strand breaks (DSBs) marker γH2AX showed an increased number of DSBs in cells treated with nanoparticles. Nanoparticle exposure further revealed only slight changes in the expression of genes involved in oxidative stress response. Lipid peroxidation, another marker of oxidative stress, was not significantly affirmed after nanoparticle exposure. Our data indicate that the effect of both types of nanoparticles on cell viability, or biomolecules such as DNA or lipids, was similar; however the presence of ascorbic acid, either bound to the nanoparticles or added to the cultivation medium, worsened the negative effect of nanoparticles in various tests performed. The attachment of ascorbic acid on the surface of nanoparticles did not have a protective effect against induced cytotoxicity, as expected.

Abstract
The recent, fast development of nanotechnology is reflected in the medical sciences. Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) are an excellent example. Thanks to their superparamagnetic properties, SPIONs have found application in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and magnetic hyperthermia. Unlike bulk iron, SPIONs do not have remnant magnetization in the absence of the external magnetic field; therefore, a precise remote control over their action is possible. This makes them also useful as a component of the advanced drug delivery systems. Due to their easy synthesis, biocompatibility, multifunctionality, and possibility of further surface modification with various chemical agents, SPIONs could support many fields of medicine. SPIONs have also some disadvantages, such as their high uptake by macrophages. Nevertheless, based on the ongoing studies, they seem to be very promising in oncological therapy (especially in the brain, breast, prostate, and pancreatic tumors). The main goal of our paper is, therefore, to present the basic properties of SPIONs, to discuss their current role in medicine, and to review their applications in order to inspire future developments of new, improved SPION systems.

Assessment of oxidative damage induced by iron oxide nanoparticles on different nervous system cells. MUTATION RESEARCH-GENETIC TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENESIS 2018; 845:402989. [PMID: 31561889 DOI: 10.1016/j.mrgentox.2018.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2018] [Revised: 11/02/2018] [Accepted: 11/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (ION) have received much attention for their utility in biomedical applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery and hyperthermia, but concerns regarding their potential harmful effects are also growing. Even though ION may induce different toxic effects in a wide variety of cell types and animal systems, there is a notable lack of toxicological data on the human nervous system, particularly important given the increasing number of applications on this specific system. An important mechanism of nanotoxicity is reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and oxidative stress. On this basis, the main objective of this work was to assess the oxidative potential of silica-coated (S-ION) and oleic acid-coated (O-ION) ION on human SH-SY5Y neuronal and A172 glial cells. To this aim, ability of ION to generate ROS (both in the absence and presence of cells) was determined, and consequences of oxidative potential were assessed (i) on DNA by means of the 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1)-modified comet assay, and (ii) on antioxidant reserves by analyzing ratio of reduced glutathione (GSH) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Conditions tested included a range of concentrations, two exposure times (3 and 24 h), and absence and presence of serum in the cell culture media. Results confirmed that, even though ION were not able to produce ROS in acellular environments, ROS formation was increased in the neuronal and glial cells by ION exposure, and was parallel to induction of oxidative DNA damage and, only in the case of neuronal cells treated with S-ION, to decreases in the GSH/GSSG ratio. Present findings suggest the production of oxidative stress as a potential action mechanism leading to the previously reported cellular effects, and indicate that ION may pose a health risk to human nervous system cells by generating oxidative stress, and thus should be used with caution.

A light-controllable specific drug delivery nanoplatform for targeted bimodal imaging-guided photothermal/chemo synergistic cancer therapy. Acta Biomater 2018; 80:308-326.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a severe threat to the health and lives of women due to its difficult early diagnosis and the unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy of breast cancer treatments. The development of theranostic strategies to combat breast cancer with high accuracy and effectiveness is therefore urgently needed. In this study, we describe a near-infrared (NIR) light-controllable, targeted and biocompatible drug delivery nanoplatform (PFH-PTX@PLGA/SPIO-Her) for photoacoustic (PA)/ultrasound (US) bimodal imaging-guided photothermal (PTT)/chemo synergistic cancer therapy of breast cancer. Carboxyl-modified PEGylated poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA-PEG-COOH) constituted the skeleton of the nanoplatform. Especially, the antibody Herceptin was modified onto the surface of nanoplatform for active HER2-targing to facilitate the tumor accumulation of the nanoplatform. The encapsulated superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles could be employed as an excellent PA imaging agent to guide tumor therapy. When exposed to NIR light, the SPIO also could transform NIR light into thermal energy for photothermal ablation of tumor. The NIR-induced thermal effect subsequently triggered the optical droplet vaporization (ODV) of perfluorohexane (PFH) to generate PFH gas bubbles, which not only achieved the US imaging enhancement, but also contributed to the release of loaded paclitaxel (PTX) from the nanoplatform for significantly improving PTT therapeutic efficacy. Our results demonstrated that the targeted tumor accumulation, accurate real-time bimodal imaging, and the abundant drug release at the tumor site were all closely associated with the PTT therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, the theranostic nanoplatform is a very promising strategy for targeted imaging-guided photothermal/chemo synergistic tumor therapy with high therapeutic efficacy and minimized side effects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in women. Herein, we successfully developed a light-controllable and HER2 targeted theranostic nanoparticels (PFH-PTX@PLGA/SPIO-Her) as a specific drug delivery nanoplatform to overcome the low accuracy of tumor detection and the low specificity of traditional chemo-therapeutic protocols. The study demonstrated that PFH-PTX@PLGA/SPIO-Her could actively target to breast cancer cells with positive HER2 expression. The biocompatible PFH-PTX@PLGA/SPIO-Her nanoparticles as both photoacoustic/ultrasound bimodal imaging agents, photothermal-conversion nanomaterials (photothermal hyperthermia) and controllable drug delivery nanoagents (optical droplet vaporization) have completely eradicated the tumor without severe side effects. The theranostic strategy not only integrates strengthens of traditional imaging or therapeutic modalities, but also paves a new way for the efficient cancer treatment by taking the advantage of quickly-developing nanomedicine.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy requires a biocompatible material to absorb near-infrared (NIR) light and generate sufficient heat. Herein, we suggest natural melanin-loaded nanovesicles (melasicles) as photothermal therapeutic agents (PTA) for NIR mediated cancer therapy in vivo. The mean size of these melasicles was 140 ± 15 nm. They showed excellent colloidal stability. After irradiation from 808 nm NIR laser at 1.5 W cm-2, the melasicles showed good photothermal conversion efficiencies both in vitro and in vivo. In drug release study, laser irradiation increased fluidity of vesicle membrane due to photothermal generation from melanin. Initial drug release in the laser irradiation group was higher than that in the no laser irradiation group. After injecting the melasicles into tail veins of CT-26 bearing mice, tumors were suppressed or eliminated after irradiation at 1.5 W cm-2 for 5 min once or twice. These results suggest that melasicles could be used as attractive PTA for cancer therapy and localized drug release.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has introduced new techniques and phototherapy approaches to fabricate and utilize nanoparticles for cancer therapy. These phototherapy approaches, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), hold great promise to overcome the limitations of traditional treatment methods. In phototherapy, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are of paramount importance due to their wide range of biomedical applications. This review discusses the basic concepts, various therapy approaches (PTT, PDT, magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), chemotherapy and immunotherapy), intrinsic properties, and mechanisms of cell death of IONPs; it also provides a brief overview of recent developments in IONPs, with focus on their therapeutic applications. Much attention is devoted to elaborating the various parameters, intracellular behaviors and limitations of MHT. Bimodal therapies which act alone or in combination with other modalities are also discussed. The review highlights some limitations in the explored research areas and suggests future directions to overcome these limitations.

Abstract
Introduction Overcoming resistance to antimitotic drugs, such as paclitaxel (PTX), would represent a major advance in breast cancer treatment. PTX induces mitotic block and sensitive cells exit mitosis dying by mitotic catastrophe. Resistant cells remain in block and continue proliferation after drug decay, denoting one of the PTX resistance mechanisms. Mild hyperthermia (HT) triggers mitotic exit of PTX-pretreated cells, overcoming PTX resistance and suggesting HT-forced mitotic exit as a promising strategy to potentiate PTX. Methods and results Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were used to deliver mild HT at 42°C in PTX-pretreated breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells sensitive and resistant to PTX. To evaluate mechanism of cell death, cells were classified based on nuclear morphology into interphase, mitotic, micronucleated, and apoptotic. The combined PTX→SPION treatment resulted in an increase in the percentage of micronucleated cells, an indication of forced mitotic exit. Importantly, in PTX-resistant cells, the combination therapy using SPION HT helps to overcome resistance by reducing the number of cells relative to the control. Conclusion SPION HT potentiates PTX by significantly reducing cell survival, suggesting potential of combined treatment for future clinical translation.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as one of the promising cancer therapy approaches. However, nanoparticles (NPs) which are used for PTT might be biopersistent and potentially toxic. The current research explores the promising use of Fe3O4 nanoflowers as nontoxic, efficient photothermal, and strong T2 type magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for imaging-guided photothermal cancer therapy. In this study, a facile solvothermal method is used to fabricate PEG-coated Fe3O4 nanoflowers with controllable dimensions. Their successful fabrication, the effect of the reaction parameters, and their magnetic properties are investigated in depth. The therapeutic performance of the Fe3O4 nanoflowers (Fe-NFs) is evaluated and compared with commercially available black TiO2 nanoparticles (b-TiO2) under an 808 nm laser. The photothermal therapy efficiency of the Fe-NFs is observed to be better than that of the reported Fe3O4 nanoparticles. In vitro and in vivo investigation demonstrates that the therapeutic performance of the Fe-NFs is comparable to that of b-TiO2. Moreover, the Fe-NFs show excellent magnetic properties and magnetic resonance imaging capability to monitor therapeutic performance.

Abstract
Image-guided treatment of cancer enables physicians to localize and treat tumors with great precision. Here, we present in vivo results showing that an emerging imaging modality, magnetic particle imaging (MPI), can be combined with magnetic hyperthermia into an image-guided theranostic platform. MPI is a noninvasive 3D tomographic imaging method with high sensitivity and contrast, zero ionizing radiation, and is linearly quantitative at any depth with no view limitations. The same superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPIONs) tracers imaged in MPI can also be excited to generate heat for magnetic hyperthermia. In this study, we demonstrate a theranostic platform, with quantitative MPI image guidance for treatment planning and use of the MPI gradients for spatial localization of magnetic hyperthermia to arbitrarily selected regions. This addresses a key challenge of conventional magnetic hyperthermia-SPIONs delivered systemically accumulate in off-target organs ( e.g., liver and spleen), and difficulty in localizing hyperthermia results in collateral heat damage to these organs. Using a MPI magnetic hyperthermia workflow, we demonstrate image-guided spatial localization of hyperthermia to the tumor while minimizing collateral damage to the nearby liver (1-2 cm distance). Localization of thermal damage and therapy was validated with luciferase activity and histological assessment. Apart from localizing thermal therapy, the technique presented here can also be extended to localize actuation of drug release and other biomechanical-based therapies. With high contrast and high sensitivity imaging combined with precise control and localization of the actuated therapy, MPI is a powerful platform for magnetic-based theranostics.

Abstract
The emergence of nanomedicine has enriched the knowledge and strategies of treating diseases, and especially some incurable diseases, such as cancers, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and neurodegenerative diseases. The application of nanoparticles in medicine is in the core of nanomedicine. Nanoparticles can be used in drug delivery for improving the uptake of poorly soluble drugs, targeted delivery to a specific site, and drug bioavailability. Early diagnosis of and targeted therapies for cancers can significantly improve patients' quality of life and extend patients' lives. The advantages of nanoparticles have given them a progressively important role in the nanodiagnosis and nanotherapy of common cancers. To provide a reference for the further application of nanoparticles, this review focuses on the recent development and application of nanoparticles in the early diagnosis and treatment of the three common cancers (lung cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer) by using quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, and gold nanoparticles.
