Abstract

This review explores the emerging applications of low-frequency magnetic fields (LFMFs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in the field of biomedicine, including in cancer treatment, controlled drug delivery, proliferation of cells, and wound healing. LFMFs, which may be found in both natural and manmade sources, have the ability to penetrate objects and may have physiological consequences. In addition, magnetic nanoparticles with low frequencies display a sensitive reaction to magnetic fields from outside sources. This presents opportunities for precise drug administration, imaging, and hyperthermia treatment in a range of biological applications. The use of precise drug delivery and controlled release mechanisms in cancer therapy, as well as the application of magnetic fields to accelerate tissue regeneration in wound healing, are advantageous for these medical treatments. In addition, this study examines the importance of liposome release and permeability in improving the availability and specificity of drugs. The authors expect that this study will provide valuable guidance to scholars in strategizing their next investigations in the same realm.

期刊介绍： The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size. Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology. The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged.
