Transition metal ion-doped ferrites nanoparticles for bioimaging and cancer therapy.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively researched and implemented in biomedicine for more than half a century due to their non-invasive nature, ease of temporal and spatial manipulation, and considerable biocompatibility. However, the complex magnetic behaviour of MNPs is influenced by several parameters (e.g., particle size, shape, composition, core-shell structure, etc.), among which the amount of transition metal doping plays an important factor. For this reason, the doping of ferrite with transition metals has been used as an effective strategy to precisely tailor MNPs to achieve satisfactory performance in biomedical applications. In this review, we first introduced the main properties of coordinated MNPs (including magnetic moment and saturated magnetisation) and provide
