A review of magnet systems for targeted drug delivery
Abstract
Magnetic drug targeting is a method by which magnetic drug carriers in the body are manipulated by external magnetic fields to reach the target area. This method is potentially promising in applications for treatment of diseases like cancers, nervous system diseases, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and so on, due to the advantages in that it can improve efficacy, reduce drug dosage and side effects. Therefore, it has received extensive attention in recent years. Successful magnetic drug targeting requires a good magnet system to guide the drug carriers to the target site. Up to date there have been many efforts to design the magnet systems for targeted drug delivery. However, there are few comprehensive reviews on these systems. Here we review the progresses made in this field. We summarized the systems already developed or proposed, and categorized them into two groups: static field magnet systems and varying field magnet systems. Based on the requirements for more powerful targeting performance, the prospects and the future research directions in this field are anticipated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
