The use of nanomaterials offers many advantages due to their unique properties. They can be used as building blocks for the fabrication of various functional diagnostic systems and agents of therapy. This article focuses on the application of magnetic nanoparticles in biomedicine such as magnetic separation, biosensor, contrast agents for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), local operated hyperthermic treatment of tumors, drug delivery, gene therapy, tissue engineering.
