Cobalt chromite magnetic nanoparticles: New magnetic system developed using nanocrystalline cobalt chromite magnetic nanoparticles to treat cancer via magnetic hyperthermia.
o Includes radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and stem cell transplant.
o Chemotherapy and radiation may cause nausea, exhaustion, hair loss, infection risk.
o Enables targeted heat generation (hyperthermia) with fewer side effects.
o Magnetic field used to control heat generation externally.
o Synthesis method: Used chemical co-precipitation route with varying Gd dopant contents.
o Heat generation: Nanoparticles in fluid form generate heat under alternating magnetic field.
o Therapeutic effect: Raises temperature to 46°C, causing necrosis in cancer cells.
o Function: Nanoparticles act as superparamagnetic nano-heaters for magnetic hyperthermia.
