This mini review provides a thorough examination of recent advances in finite element analysis (FEA) for cancer therapy, with a focus on magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) hyperthermia. The paper begins by discussing the fundamental principles of FEA and their applications in biomedical sciences. It then describes the application of FEA to the in vitro and in vivo modeling of MNP hyperthermia, including the development and validation of computational models that simulate magnetic nanoparticles behavior under alternating magnetic field (AMF), heat generation, its transfer, and cellular/tissue responses. The review further explores the emerging trends and future directions in the application of FEA for MNP hyperthermia, including the integration of experimental data, incorporation of patient-specific parameters, and optimization of treatment protocols. The paper also discusses the key challenges and limitations of current FEA models, shedding light on potential areas for future research and development. By synthesizing the most recent advances in this field, the review aims to provide a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and engineers working on the optimization and clinical translation of MNP hyperthermia for effective cancer therapy.

Non-invasive or minutely invasive and wireless brain stimulation that can target any region of the brain is an open problem in engineering and neuroscience with serious implications for the treatment of numerous neurological diseases. Despite significant recent progress in advancing new methods of neuromodulation, none has successfully replicated the efficacy of traditional wired stimulation and improved on its downsides without introducing new complications. Due to the capability to convert magnetic fields into local electric fields, MagnetoElectric NanoParticle (MENP) neuromodulation is a recently proposed framework based on new materials that can locally sensitize neurons to specific, low-strength alternating current (AC) magnetic fields (50Hz 1.7 kOe field). However, the current research into this neuromodulation concept is at a very early stage, and the theoretically feasible game-changing advantages remain to be proven experimentally. To break this stalemate phase, this study leveraged understanding of the non-linear properties of MENPs and the nanoparticles' field interaction with the cellular microenvironment. Particularly, the applied magnetic field's strength and frequency were tailored to the M − H hysteresis loop of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, rectangular prisms instead of the more traditional “spherical” nanoparticle shapes were used to: (i) maximize the magnetoelectric effect and (ii) improve the nanoparticle-cell-membrane surface interface. Neuromodulation performance was evaluated in a series of exploratory in vitro experiments on 2446 rat hippocampus neurons. Linear mixed effect models were used to ensure the independence of samples by accounting for fixed adjacency effects in synchronized firing. Neural activity was measured over repeated 4-min segments, containing 90 s of baseline measurements, 90 s of stimulation measurements, and 60 s of post stimulation measurements. 87.5 % of stimulation attempts produced statistically significant (P < 0.0
