TL;DR: This study proves for the first time that cooperative magnetic behavior within highly crystalline iron oxide superparamagnetic multi-core nanoparticles can improve simultaneously therapeutic and diagnosis effectiveness over existing nanostructures, while preserving biocompatibility.

TL;DR: A multiscale approach to study the fate of nanomagnets in the organism and evidence the biotransformation of superparamagnetic maghemite nanoparticles into poorly-magnetic iron species probably stored into ferritin proteins over a period of three months is evidence.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified polyol protocol was used to synthesize novel structures of magnetic iron oxide, which look constituted of smaller grains of approximately 11 nm, assembled in a flower-shaped structure.

TL;DR: Fundamental aspects regarding the design of magnetic nanoparticles with optimized properties are discussed, by unraveling physical mechanisms that govern heating power in biological media, to fulfill the requirements of future medicine in terms of spatial targeting and temporal control of therapy.

TL;DR: Assessment of the physical state of the nanoparticles during degradation revealed that the magnetic properties, size distribution and structure of the remaining nanocrystals were identical to those of the initial suspension, suggesting a model for nanoparticle degradation with rapidly dissolved nanocry crystals and a reservoir of intact nanoparticles.
