Illustration of steps of the concept of the field-controlled ME-based nanoelectroporation to deliver drugs specifically into cancer cells. (1) Drug-loaded ME nanoparticles are administrated into the cellular microenvironment of interest; (2) a DC magnetic field above the threshold value for the particular cancer cell line is applied to induce the process of nanoelectroporation; and (3) the magnetic field is turned off to trap the drug-loaded nanoparticles inside the cancer cells.
