In magnetically-guided nanoparticles, a constant external magnetic field is used to transport magnetic nanoparticles loaded with drugs to a specific site within the body or to increase the transfection capacity. Magnetofection is the delivery of nucleic acids under the influence of a magnetic field acting on nucleic acid vectors that are associated with magnetic nanoparticles. In magnetically-responsive nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles are encapsulated or embedded in a larger colloidal structure that carries a drug. In this last case, an alternating magnetic field can modify the structure of the colloid, thereby providing spatial and temporal control over drug release.32 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Estelrich i Latràs, Joan et al., 2015http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esNanopartículesLiposomesQuimioteràpiaÒxid de ferroNanoparticlesLiposomesChemotherapyFerric oxideinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6491942020-02-06info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess25867479
