Nanomagnete können Knochenkrebs besiegen und Ihnen bei der Heilung helfen: Sie beseitigen gleichzeitig Tumore durch magnetische Hyperthermie – im Wesentlichen durch das Verbrennen von Krebszellen von innen – und unterstützen gleichzeitig das Wachstum neuer Knochen, findet eine neue In-vitro-Studie in simulierter Körperflüssigkeit.

**Nano-magnets may defeat bone cancer and help you heal**

Ângela Andrade, corresponding author of the Magnetic Medicine paper “Magnetic core-shell nanocomposites with bioactive glass coatings for hyperthermia-assisted bone cancer therapy,” explains how magnetic bioactive nanocomposites offer so much promise in defeating bone cancer. **They simultaneously eliminate tumors through magnetic hyperthermia – essentially, burning cancer cells from the inside – while supporting new bone growth**. Using this method allows “high magnetization of the nanocomposite and a strong bioactivity in the same material, which has been a long-standing challenge in this field.”
