Characterization of MNP@Au nanostars. (a) X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, (b) magnetization curves of MNPs and MNP@Au nanostars, (c) the picture of MNP@Au nanostars attracted by a magnet, and (d) viability of CHME-5 cells after exposure to MNP@Au nanostars. (The results are represented as the mean ± standard deviation.) MNP@Au nanostars exhibited superparamagnetic property. The viability was determined using XTT assay (*P < 0.05; NS, not significant, P > 0.05).
