Figure 2. Cellular uptake of magnetic nanoparticles and intracellular release of therapeutic cargo under the influence of an applied magnetic field.

Figure 2

Composite MNPs are shown with their ability to deliver a therapeutic payload to cells under the guidance of an external magnetic field. MNPs can be engineered with targeting molecules and/or cell penetrating peptides to promote efficient internalization.

MNP: Magnetic nanoparticle.
