ABSTRACT
MnFe2O4 NPs are a current hot topic in materials science due to their high and tunable nanomagnetism, surface versatility and chemical stability, which makes them promising candidates for biomedical applications. This chapter aims to provide a concise review focused on the synthetic methods and surface engineering strategies for designing MnFe2O4 nanohybrids with suitable physicochemical properties looking forward to their use as multifunctional materials in biomedical application; in this sense, we outline the latest advances in the field, with emphasis on targeted-drug delivery, MR imaging, and magnetic hyperthermia. Besides, some considerations about in vitro and in vivo toxicity behavior of MnFe2O4 nanohybrids are provided.
