Schematic structure of magnetic solid lipid nanoparticles (mSLNs) and their application in cancer theranostics. Due to the properties of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), mSLNs can be used for diagnostic purposes (e.g., MRI application) and cancer therapy via magnetic hyperthermia. Moreover, magnetic hyperthermia in mSLNs offers an extra level of control over the drug release into the region of interest, ultimately increasing the cytotoxicity for cancer cells in comparison with SLNs or MNPs alone.
