  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Design and Evaluation of Plasmonic/Magnetic Au-MFe2O4 (M-Fe/Co/Mn) Core-Shell Nanoparticles Functionalized with Doxorubicin for Cancer Therapeutics

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

Magnetic materials at nanoscale possess various biomedical applications due to their unique physical properties at the cellular and molecular levels of the biological interface. They are an efficient theranostic agent since they are considered to be good for therapeutic purposes, as well as for MR contrast imaging [1, 2]. They have been exploited for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer [3], cardiovascular diseases [4], and neurological diseases [5]. The size, shape, surface charge, surface chemistries, and composition can be tailored for such NPs so that their magnetic properties are improved and hence can be used proficiently for the theranostic purpose, both in vivo and in vitro [6].
