Herein, the synthesis and application of nanostructured materials will be described with a special focus on the properties they could offer for medical applications. Examples will be given in which (i) multilayered magnetic nanobeads are explored for the delivery of peptides molecules triggered by intracellular proteases,[1] (ii) extracellular matrix-like magnetic nanofibers are realized as manipulative hyperthermia material and switchable drug release platforms (Figure 1).[2]
