Using nanoparticles and alternating magnetic fields, scientists have found that head and neck cancerous tumor cells in mice can be killed in half an hour without harming healthy cells. The ...

Self-regulating nanoparticles could overcome a major hurdle in the use of hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer: controlling the target temperature.

Magnetic nanoparticles have shown anticancer potential for years, the scientists say, but at present, magnetic hyperthermia can typically only be used for patients whose tumors are accessible by a ...

Dartmouth researcher Jack Hoopes has demonstrated that magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia could be a possible treatment for breast cancer, as he presented in a new preclinical study at the ...

For example, current approaches to using nanoparticles for hyperthermia treatment are often only effective for tumors that are easy to reach (e.g., near the surface), which can be injected. Other ...

Magnetic nanoparticles have shown anticancer potential for years, the scientists say, but at present, magnetic hyperthermia can typically only be used for patients whose tumors are accessible by a ...

Magnetic nanoparticle-mediated hyperthermia (MNHT) consists of two major, stepwise technical approaches: the first is to accumulate magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) ...
