TL;DR: This Letter demonstrates a significant increase in the efficiency of magnetic thermal induction by nanoparticles and finds that the therapeutic efficacy of these nanoparticles is superior to that of a common anticancer drug.

TL;DR: The development of a synthetically controlled magnetic nanocrystal model system that correlates the nanoscale tunabilities in terms of size, magnetism, and induced nuclear spin relaxation processes led to the development of high-performance Nanocrystal-antibody probe systems for the diagnosis of breast cancer cells via magnetic resonance imaging.

TL;DR: The currently proposed shape-guiding mechanisms are presented and the important pioneering studies on the assembly of shape-controlled nanocrystals into ordered superlattices and the fabrication of prototype advanced nanodevices are discussed.

TL;DR: This study finds that high performance in vivo MR diagnosis of cancer is achievable by utilizing improved and multifunctional material properties of iron oxide nanocrystal probes.

TL;DR: The development of inorganic heterodimer nanoparticles of FePt-Au with multifunctional capabilities including catalytic growth effects, magnetic resonance (MR) contrast effects, optical signal enhancing properties, and high colloidal stability and biocompatibility are presented.
