Summary: The development of liquid marbles coated with iron oxide nanocubes allows for homogeneous heating with an alternating magnetic field, achieving temperatures up to 86 degrees C. By tuning the power of the AMF, the liquid marbles can be heated to desired temperatures in controllable patterns. Furthermore, the unique magnetothermal properties of these liquid marbles enable multicenter and selective heating, showing potential applications in areas such as biosensor technology and theranostics.

Summary: Core-shell nanostructures, such as nanogold-shelled Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles, have various applications in medicine. This study reports a synthesis methodology of Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles to limit their agglomeration and increase their stability. The use of an oil and water reaction environment leads to lower polydispersity and faster disintegration of the particles. Importantly, the developed nanoparticles showed no pro-inflammatory activity and high viability of cells.

Summary: The presented research demonstrates the potential of creating in-line magnetic sensors by detecting changes in light propagation parameters, particularly polarization. This is achieved by mixing Fe3O4 nanoparticles with hexadecane to form a magnetic cladding surrounding a fiber taper. The studies show that the transmission and polarization properties vary depending on the location of the mixture on the tapered optical fiber.

Summary: Nanotechnology targeted drug delivery systems can overcome limitations of conventional cancer treatment and have shown great potential in NSCLC therapy. However, challenges in nanoparticle-mediated gene therapy, such as stability, biodistribution management, and cytotoxic effects, need to be addressed before clinical trials can be conducted. Evaluation of therapeutic efficacy of biomolecules and nanoparticle combination in gene therapy is necessary to expand the application of nano-gene therapy in cancer treatment.
