This study demonstrates the rational fabrication of a magnetic composite nanofiber mesh that can achieve mutual synergy of hyperthermia, chemotherapy, and thermo-molecularly targeted therapy for highly potent therapeutic effects. The nanofiber is composed of biodegradable poly(ε-caprolactone) with doxorubicin, magnetic nanoparticles, and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin. The nanofiber exhibits distinct hyperthermia, owing to the presence of magnetic nanoparticles upon exposure of the mesh to an alternating magnetic field, which causes heat-induced cell killing as well as enhanced chemotherapeutic efficiency of doxorubicin. The effectiveness of hyperthermia is further enhanced through the inhibition of heat shock protein activity after hyperthermia by releasing the inhibitor 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin. These findings represent a smart nanofiber system for potent cancer therapy and may provide a new approach for the development of localized medication delivery.

While vitrified cryopreservation holds great promise, practical application has been limited to smaller systems (cells and thin tissues) due to diffusive heat and mass transfer limitations, which are typically manifested as devitrification and cracking failures during thaw. Here then we describe a new approach for rapidly and uniformly heating cryopreserved biospecimens with radiofrequency (RF) excited magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs). Importantly, heating rates can be increased several fold over conventional boundary heating techniques and are independent of sample size. Initial differential scanning calorimetry studies indicate that the addition of the mNPs has minimal impact on the freeze-thaw behavior of the cryoprotectant systems themselves. Then proof-of-principle experiments in aqueous and cryoprotectant solutions demonstrate the ability to heat at rates high enough to mitigate or eliminate devitrification (hundreds of °C/min) and scaled heat transfer modeling is used to illustrate the potential of this innovative approach. Finally, X-ray micro-computed-tomography (micro-CT) is investigated as a planning and quality control tool, where the density-based measurements are able to quantify changes in cryoprotectant concentration, mNP concentration, and the frozen state (i.e. crystallized versus vitrified).
