## Abstract Magnetic targeting has shown promise to improve the efficacy and safety of different classes of therapeutic agents by enabling their active guidance to the site of disease and minimizing dissemination to nontarget tissues. However, its translation into clinic has proven difficult becaus

β¦ Synopsis
From the clinical editor:
This paper addresses targeted drug delivery with magnetic nanoparticles. the authors demonstrate that a simple external magnetic field is sufficient to target a drug to specific sites in the body without the need for functionalized nanoparticles, at least in selected organs and diseases.
