Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained significant attention in biomedical applications due to their unique magnetic properties and versatility. This review discusses the synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of MNPs. The synthesis methods include physical, chemical, and biological approaches, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Physical methods such as ball milling, laser evaporation, and wire explosion are used to produce MNPs with controlled size and shape. Chemical methods like precipitation, thermal decomposition, and hydrothermal synthesis are also employed, offering precise control over particle properties. Biological methods, including microorganism-based, plant extract-based, and enzymatic synthesis, provide eco-friendly alternatives for MNP production. MNPs are typically composed of a magnetic core and a functional coating, which enhances their biocompatibility and stability. The coating plays a crucial role in ensuring the nanoparticles' effectiveness in biomedical applications. Characterization techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and magnetometry are used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of MNPs. These techniques provide insights into the size, shape, magnetic behavior, and surface properties of the nanoparticles. In biomedical applications, MNPs are used for targeted drug delivery, magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment, and improving contrast in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Their ability to respond to external magnetic fields allows for precise control and manipulation within biological systems, making them ideal for targeted therapies. Additionally, MNPs have potential in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, offering new avenues for innovative approaches to tissue repair and regeneration. Despite their advantages, challenges such as toxicity and biocompatibility must be addressed to ensure their safe and effective use in biomedical applications. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of MNPs, offering valuable insights for researchers and medical professionals in this rapidly evolving field.Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained significant attention in biomedical applications due to their unique magnetic properties and versatility.
