Magnetic Nanoparticles To Simultaneously Diagnose, Monitor And Treat (redOrbit)

Whether it’s magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) giving an army of ‘therapeutically armed’ white blood cells direction to invade a deadly tumour’s territory, or the use of mNPs to target specific nerve channels and induce nerve-led behaviour (such as the life-dependant thumping of our hearts), mNPs have come a long way in the past decade.The future for mNPs however appears even brighter.
