Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) represent an advanced tool in the medical field because they can be modified according to biomedical approaches and guided by an external magnetic field in the human body. The first objective of this review is to exemplify some promising applications in the medical field, including smart drug-delivery systems, therapies against cancer cells, radiotherapy, improvements in diagnostics using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and tissue engineering. Complementarily, the second objective is to illustrate the mechanisms of action and theoretical foundations related to magnetoresponsive materials.
