Injectable hydrogel nanocomposites with entrapped SPIONs, thermosensitive microgels, and model drugs generate heat when an alternating magnetic field is applied, causing the microgels to deswell and create pore space to promote enhanced drug release.

Tearable and fillable implants are used to facilitate surgery. The use of implants that can generate heat and release a drug in response to an exogenous trigger, such as an alternating magnetic field (AMF), can facilitate on-demand combined thermal treatment and chemotherapy via remote operation. In this study, we fabricated tearable sponges composed of collagen, magnetite nanoparticles, and anticancer drugs. Crosslinking of the sponges by heating for 6 h completely suppressed undesirable drug release in saline at 37 °C but allowed drug release at 45 °C. The sponges generated heat immediately after AMF application and raised the cell culture medium temperature from 37 to 45 °C within 15 min. Heat generation was controlled by switching the AMF on and off. Furthermore, in response to heat generation, drug release from the sponges could be induced and moderated. Thus, remote-controlled heat generation and drug release were achieved by switching the AMF on and off. The sponges destroyed tumor cells when AMF was applied for 15 min but not when AMF was absent. The tearing and filling properties of the sponges may be useful for the surgical repair of bone and tissue defects. Moreover, these sponges, along with AMF application, can facilitate combined thermal therapy and chemotherapy.

The activation of MNPs for hyperthermia therapy via an external alternating magnetic field is an interesting method in targeted cancer therapy. This mini-review explains new developments and implications of magnetic nanofluids mediated magnetic hyperthermia for their potential use in future clinical settings. The external alternating magnetic field generates heat in the tumor area to eliminate cancer cells. Depending on the tumor type and targeted area, several kinds of MNPs with different coating agents of various morphology and surface charge have been developed. The tunable physiochemical characteristics of MNPs enhance their heating capability. In addition, heating efficiency is strongly associated with the amount of the applied magnetic field and frequency. The great efforts have offered promising preclinical trials of magnetic hyperthermia via MNPs as a smart nanoagent. MNPs are very appropriate to be considered as a heating source in MHT and prospective research in this field will lead to tackle the problems from chemotherapy and introduce promising therapeutic techniques and nanodrug formulations for remotely controlled drug release and anticancer effects. This mini-review aims to pinpoint synthesis and structural analysis of various magnetic nanoparticles examined for magnetic hyperthermia therapy and controlled drug release in cancer treatment.
