Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub><em>@</em>Au composite magnetic nanoparticles modified with cetuximab for targeted magneto-photothermal therapy of glioma cells

Thermoresponsive nanoparticles have become an attractive candidate for designing combined multimodal therapy strategies because of the onset of hyperthermia and their advantages in synergistic cancer treatment. In this paper, novel cetuximab (C225)-encapsulated core-shell Fe3O4@Au magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Au-C225 composite-targeted MNPs) were created and applied as a therapeutic nanocarrier to conduct targeted magneto-photothermal therapy...
