TL;DR: A review of recent advances in synthesis routes for quickly and reliably making and functionalizing magnetic nanoparticles for applications in biomedicine can be found in this article, where the authors put special emphasis on describing synthetic strategies that result in the production of nanosized materials with well-defined physical and crystallochemical characteristics as well as colloidal and magnetic properties.

TL;DR: The applications of exchange coupled bi-magnetic hard/soft and soft/hard ferromagnetic core/shell nanoparticles are reviewed in this paper, where the main synthesis approaches and the structural-morphological characterization are presented.

TL;DR: Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) of three different sizes below the limit for single domain magnetic behaviour have been obtained by thermal decomposition of an iron precursor in an organic medium in the presence of a surfactant.

TL;DR: Cationic magnetic nanoparticles show excellent properties for possible in vivo biomedical applications such as cell tracking by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cancer treatment by hyperthermia: they enter into cells with high effectiveness, and are localized in endosomes.

TL;DR: The applications of exchange coupled bi-magnetic hard/soft and soft/hard ferromagnetic core/shell nanoparticles are reviewed in this article, with a brief description of the main synthesis approaches and the structural-morphological characterization.
