Magnetic Memory of Antitumor Magneto-sensitive Nanocomplex

摘要

20.1 Introduction Drug delivery and release are important to improve the therapeutic effects of drugs and reduce toxic side effects during cancer chemotherapy [1]. Drug release and delivery into tumor can be improved using nanotechnology based on the utilization of the antitumor magneto-sensitive nanocomplex (AMNC) with magnetic memory effect. The magnetic memory effect is the ability of magnetic material (e.g., AMNC) to remember the magnetic field strength at which its shape was mechanically deformed [2].
