“…A lot of literature have focused on iron oxide nanoparticles because of their superior chemical, biological and magnetic properties including chemical stability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, high saturation magnetisation and high magnetic susceptibility [5][6][7][8]. These properties allow for its use in many biomedical applications; bioimaging 34,41,56,62], hyperthermia [20,21,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]55], drug delivery , cell labelling [26,70] and gene delivery [71][72][73][74][75][76][77]. From our most recent review, it was seen that other magnetic nanomaterials such as Fe-Co, Cu-Ni, Fe-Ni, Co-Fe 2 O 4 and Mn-Fe 2 O 4 , nanoparticles are being investigated for use in bioimaging [78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86]…”
