Diagnosis and treatment all in one: Multifunctional magneto-polymeric nanohybrids (MMPNs) have been synthesized using ultrasensitive MnFe2O4 nanocrystals, chemotherapeutic agents, and encapsulating amphiphilic block copolymers for targeted detection by MRI and treatment of breast cancer. See the TEM image (left) of an MMPN and T2-weighted MR images (top row) and color map (bottom row) of the relaxivity R2 for NIH3T6.7 and MDA-MB-231 cells.
