Cover Story: Inorganic nanoparticle systems with an optimized coating and multifunctional character boost personalized nanomedical treatments. The directed assembly of iron-oxide-interacting nanocrystals into cluster-like entities seems to improve their features in magnetically-driven diagnosis and possible therapy. The optimization of their effectiveness in practical healthcare includes the study of nanocluster interactions with cells and their correlation to external stimuli. The unexplored bioactivity of these nanoprobes may become a useful tool for immune system theranostics (diagnosis and therapy). View this paper.
