Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles have been intensively investigated due to their magnetic characteristics, quantum dot effects, as well as their potential applications in the area of bioscience and medicine. Very promising nanoparticles are magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with appropriate surface modification which have been widely used experimentally for masses of in vivo applications such as magnetic resonance imaging contrast enhancement, drug delivery, and hyperthermia, etc.. All these biomedical applications require that these nanoparticles have effective magnetic values and suitable sizes. On the other hand, these applications need special surface modification of these particles, which not only have to be non-toxic and biocompatible, but also allow a targetable drug delivery in a specific area. This review summarizes the current research situation and development of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, and the biomedical applications ranging from drug delivery to hyperthermia for tumor-targeted therapy.
Keywords: Magnetic nanoparticle, iron oxide, drug delivery, surface modification, targeted therapy, hyperthermia, magnetic resonance, Nanotechnology, magnetic hyperthermia, malignancies, O-carboxymethylchitosan, camptothecin, reticuloendothe-lial system, magnetic drug targeting (MDT), adriamycin, glioblastoma cells, prostate cancer, nanoimmunoliposome, phagolysis, 5-Fluorouracil, tumor necrosis factor

Advances in Cancer Biomarkers and Potential Drug Targets: From Diagnosis to Therapy
Cancer biomarkers play a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. They provide valuable information for cancer detection, risk assessment, treatment selection, and monitoring response to therapy. With advancements in molecular biology and high-throughput technologies, there has been an increasing interest in identifying and characterizing cancer biomarkers ...read more
Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Target Drug Resistant Tumors
With the development of disciplines such as chemical biology and molecular biology, the genes or proteins closely related to tumor occurrence and development have gradually become clear. Targeted therapies targeting these genes or proteins provide more effective methods for tumor treatment. Tumor targeted drugs generally only act on specific targets ...read more
ROLE OF IMMUNE AND GENOTOXIC RESPONSE BIOMARKERS IN TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Biological biomarkers have been used in medical research as an indicator of a normal or abnormal process inside the body, or of a disease. Nowadays, various researchers are in process to explore and investigate the biological markers for the early assessment of cancer. DNA Damage response (DDR) pathways and immune ...read more
Targeting the battlefield between host and tumor: basic research and clinical practice on reshaping tumor immune microenvironment
Immune system protects host against malignant tumors through effector cells and molecules. Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses cancer progression. Chronic inflammation facilitates cancer progression and treatment resistance, whereas induction of acute inflammatory reactions often lead to anti-cancer immune responses. ...read more
