“…Nanotechnology can be effectively used to circumvent a few of the drawbacks of conventional drug loading/release formulations. Magnetic metal oxide-based nanoparticles (typically iron oxide) are unique due to their exceptional chemical, biological, catalytical and magnetic properties along with chemical stability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, elevated saturation magnetization and appropriate magnetic susceptibility [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. These properties form the basis for their biomedical applications [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”
