Abstract

The present invention provides novel nanosized particles termed as "nanoclinics" for therapeutic and/or diagnostic use. The particles have a core made of a therapeutic or diagnostic material surrounded by a shell. Further, the particles contain a targeting agent on the surface of the shell for specific recognition of targeted cells. A method is also provided for lysis of cells using DC magnetic field. Further, the present invention also provides a method for fabrication of nanoclinics that can target and lyse specific cells such as cancer cells.
