A magnetically guided brain delivery method previously demonstrated in mice has not yet been translated for clinical applications due to the mismatch of available static magnet dimensions in relation to the human brain size and shape. To develop a human-compatible methodology, we explored magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool for the delivery of magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENPs) into the brain of a baboon, as a proof-of-concept study. MRI brain image analysis showed a reduction in * value at the basal ganglia, hemisphere, and vertex, thereby confirming successful MENP delivery to the brain. The observation of well-integrated morphologically healthy tissues and no blood toxicity over the study duration confirmed the biocompatibility of MENPs and the delivery procedure. Outcomes of this research present MRI-assisted delivery of MENPs to the brain as a safe and noninvasive method in larger species such as baboons and one step closer to human translation. This MENP-based nanomedicine delivery method can be used for clinical application in order to investigate effective central nervous system (CNS) therapies.

We report the synthesis of magneto-electric (ME) core-shell cobalt ferrite-barium titanate nanorods (CFO@BTO NRs) to achieve "on demand" drug release . Physical characterizations confirmed the formation of pure CFO@BTO NRs with appropriate magnetic and ferroelectric response, favorable for an externally controlled drug delivery system.

Magneto-electric (ME) materials with core-shell architecture where the core is made of magnetic materials have emerged as an attractive nanomaterial due to the coupling of magnetic and electric properties in the same material and the fact that both fields can be controlled which allows an on-demand, transport and release of loaded cargo. Over the last decade, biomedical engineers and researchers from various interdisciplinary fields have successfully demonstrated promising properties ranging from therapeutic delivery to sensing, and neuromodulation using ME materials. In this review, we systematically summarize developments in various biomedical fields using the nanoforms of these materials.

The anatomical structure of the brain at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) creates a limitation for the movement of drugs into the central nervous system (CNS). Drug delivery facilitated by magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENs) is a relatively new non-invasive approach for the delivery of drugs into the CNS. These nanoparticles (NPs) can create localized transient changes in the permeability of the cells of the BBB by inducing electroporation.

The targeted drug release at tumor cells while sparing normal cells is a huge challenge. Core-shell magnetoelectric (ME) nanoparticles have addressed this problem using shape-dependent magneto-electric attributes. The colloidally stable, core-shell cobalt ferrite@barium titanate (CFO@BTO) ME nanoparticles (NPs) used for in vitro study were synthesized using sonochemical method.
