Magnetic Nanoparticles: From Fabrication to Clinical Applications presents the latest information in magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) research and provides a comprehensive review, from synthesis, characterization, and biofunctionalization to clinical applications of MNPs, including the diagnosis and treatment of cancers. This book features contributions from the most qualified experts in the exciting field and presents translational research on tailored magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications spanning a variety of disciplines.

Nano researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have developed a platform technology for cell-signaling sensors that can monitor interactions between single cells – and in real-time. Understanding more about cell signaling events could offer many implications for treatments of disease

The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved the first clinical trial in humans of Cornell dots, brightly glowing nanoparticles that can light up cancer cells in PET-optical imaging. The technology aims to safely show surgeons extent of tumors in human organs.
