“…The first is the use of HAp scaffolds as drug delivery composites. Associated with anti-tumor drugs, such as doxorubicin, cisplatin, and methotrexate (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), the gradual detachment of these molecules in specific places is guaranteed, also allowing the optimal in loco concentration Abbreviations: ADM, Adriamycin; AMPK, Adenylate-activated protein kinase; FeHA, iron-doped hydroxyapatite; HAp, Hydroxyapatite; hBMSCs, human bone mesenchymal stem cells; HeLa cells, cellular lineage commonly used in studies to assess cell proliferation, cytotoxicity and mortality; HepG2, liver cancer cell line (HepG2); INCA, National Cancer Institute; IOHAp, iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles coated with HAp; K7M2-pCl, including osteosarcoma cells (K7M2-pCl); LbL1, one layer-layer-by-layer scaffold produced from collagen, HAp, magnetite and cisplatin; LbL3, three-layer-layer-by-layer scaffold produced from collagen, HAp, magnetite and cisplatin; LbL5, five layer-layer-by-layer scaffold produced from collagen, HAp, magnetite and cisplatin; LbL7, seven-layerlayer-by-layer scaffold produced from collagen, HAp, magnetite and cisplatin; Mag@CaP, iron oxide nanoparticles coated with amorphous calcium phosphate; MC3T3-E1, Cellular adhesion and proliferation potential of the osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1; MG-63, human osteosarcoma lineage cells (MG-63); MH, magnetic hyperthermia; MNPs, magnetic nanoparticles; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; FeHApC, nanohydroxyapatite/collagen; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; PLGA, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid); Saos-2, human osteosarcoma cellular lineage (Saos-2). of the respective drug, which is sustained for more extended periods, thus avoiding undesirable side effects (33)(34)(35)(36).…”
