TL;DR: It is demonstrated that targeted magnetic nanoparticles could generate heat on a therapeutic level after systemic administration, but only under laser excitation, and successfully inhibit tumor progression.

TL;DR: The first proof-of-concept of a successful bio-integrated production of molecular imaging probe for MRI is established, establishing the potential of single step production of genetically engineered magnetosomes, bacterial biogenic iron-oxide nanoparticles embedded in a lipid vesicle, as a new tailorable magnetic resonance molecular Imaging probe.

TL;DR: Preclinical studies of human pathologies in animal models will benefit from the combination of high magnetic field MRI with sensitive, low dose, easy‐to‐produce biocompatible contrast agents derived from bacterial magnetosomes.

TL;DR: This mini-review investigated all the aspects of research on magnetotactic bacteria, as well as magnetosomes, and summarized the currently available knowledge.

TL;DR: Bacteria-made biogenic magnetosomes can thus be totally remodeled by human stem cells, into human cells-made magnetic nanoparticles, evidencing the neo-synthesis of biogenic Magnetic nanoparticles.
