TL;DR: It is reported that different intracellular microenvironment in which IONPs are located leads to contradictive outcomes in their abilities to produce free radicals, and lysosome-escaped strategy for IONP delivery would be an efficient way to diminish long-term toxic potential.

TL;DR: The recent advances of smart nanoplatforms for targeting drug delivery, including stimuli-responsive polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, metals/metal oxides, and exosomes are highlighted.

TL;DR: Magnetically sensitive alginate-templated polyelectrolyte multilayer microcapsules were successfully synthesized by a novel process combining emulsification and layer-by-layer self-assembly techniques as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Magnetic microbubbles used in diagnostic and therapeutic fields, and the potential applications of magnetic microbubble in the future are summarized and predicted.

TL;DR: Experimental observations show that Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles embedded in the shells of microbubbles can be delivered into the tumor cells; the delivery rate can be controlled by adjusting the acoustic intensity, which is beneficial for the delivery of nanoparticles and simultaneously maintains the cellular viability.
