MULTI-PHASIC NANOSTRUCTURES FOR IMAGING AND THERAPY

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to nano-scale composites with spatially separated functionalities such as for imaging probe engineering and therapeutic formulations. Additional aspects of the disclosure are directed to magnetic field modulated imaging and therapies. Included in the disclosure is the use of the composites for magnetolytic therapy, whereby cell lysis is effected by impacting magnetic composites into a cell using a spinning or oscillating magnetic field.
