Abstract:
Reviewing emerging biomedical applications of MagnetoElectric NanoParticles (MENPs), this paper presents basic physics considerations to help understand the possibility of future theranostic applications. Currently emerging applications include wireless non-surgical neural modulation and recording, functional brain mapping, high-specificity cell electroporation for targeted cancer therapies, targeted drug delivery, early screening and diagnostics, and others. Using an ab initio analysis, each application is discussed from the perspective of its fundamental limitations. Furthermore, the review identifies the most eminent challenges and offers potential engineering solutions on the pathway to implement each application and combine the therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities of the nanoparticles.
