Engineered magnetic core shell nanoprobes: Synthesis and applications to cancer imaging and therapeutics

Figure 1 Schematic showing synthesis of magnetic core shell nanoparticle and their application towards targeting the cancer cells. Upper panel shows generation of MCNPs and lower panel represents magnetically facilitated arsenite delivery using MCNPs to kill cancerous cells through apoptosis. MCNP: Magnetic core shell nanoparticle; IONP: Iron oxide nanoparticle.
