4. Nanoparticles under 10 nm for oncology
The aim of this section is to give a brief overview of the main types of nanoparticles currently proposed for preclinical research in the 1 to 10 nm size range.
Superparamagnetic nanoparticles used for biomedical applications are mainly composed of iron oxides (maghemite γ-Fe
