Abstract:
1. A delivery system for a delivery agent for use in imaging systems, comprising: at least one magnetic nanoparticle having a Curie temperature less than a critical temperature of tissue at which the tissue is compromised; a biocompatible, thermosensitive coating including at least one therapeutic agent encapsulating the at least one magnetic nanoparticle; wherein the biocompatible, thermosensitive coating melts when exposed to heat at or less than the Curie temperature, thereby releasing the at least one therapeutic agent; wherein the at least one magnetic nanoparticle is attached to an attenuated bacteria strain; and wherein the at least one magnetic nanoparticle has been attached to an outer surface of an attenuated bacteria strain via incubating the attenuated bacteria strain with the at least one magnetic nanoparticle.
