Effective elimination of cancer stem cells by magnetic hyperthermia.

abstract：:It is well-known that renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are resistant to classical cytotoxic anticancer drugs. Therefore, facilitating the impact of anticancer drugs by altering the cell phenotype should be a useful strategy for circumventing this. We developed a multifunctional envelope-type nanodevice (MEND) as an in viv...
