Smart anti-cancer nanofiber meshes with dynamically and reversibly tunable properties demonstrate the ability to generate heat and release anti-cancer drugs in response to a simple on and off switching of an alternating magnetic field. This smart nanofiber mesh effectively induced the apoptosis of cancer cells by a synergistic effect of the anti-cancer drug and hyperthermia.
