Magnetic nanoparticles are popular candidates for many biomedical applications because of their nontoxicity, biocompatibility, and unique magnetic properties. In the past decade, progresses in the synthesis and surface engineering of magnetic nanoparticles have further enhanced this image. This chapter aims to provide a general overview of their applications in biomedical fields such as bioseparation, gene delivery, diagnosis, antibacterial agent, disease therapy, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Finally, remaining challenges and opportunities are discussed as well.
