Magnetic Nanoparticles in Nanomedicine provides readers with the fundamental theories and principles of magnetic materials, the synthesis and surface functionalization strategies of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and the standard techniques for characterizing physicochemical properties of MNPs. The book reviews MNP-based therapies such as magnetic hyperthermia therapy, drug/ gene delivery, and magnetic neurostimulation. It also covers MNP-based in vitro and in vivo disease diagnosis, including techniques such as magnetoresistive, nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic particle spectroscopy biosensing platforms, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic particle imaging. Finally, it addresses the biocompatibility and safety issues in applying MNPs to in vivo biomedical applications, including coverage of the toxicity of MNPs to human tissues, the immune responses of the human body to these particles, as well as blood circulation time of MNPs. Key Features Provides a valuable tool for academics and clinicians pushing the frontiers of MNP based early-stage disease diagnosis and screening, Clearly explains the synthesis, functionalization, and biocompatibility of MNPs, Describes micromagnetic simulation, a valuable tool for predicting the properties of magnetic nanomaterials
