Thermal and mechanical activation of magnetic nanoparticles as anti-cancer strategy 2020-2021.

A combination of experimental and theoretical techniques for the thermaland mechanical activation of MNPsis being developed. Simultaneously, regarding magneto-mechanical stressdifferent magnetic field configurations with MNPs allow them to undergo cellular damage only on malignant cells.Two  aspects  of  field  parameters  are  studied:  the  use  of  pulsed  instead  of  alternating  magnetic  field,  as  well  as  the  movement  of the magnetic field source relative to the biological sample in order to reduce the side effects i.e. reduction of eddy currents.
