Mesoporous silica nanoparticles are a branch of nanoparticles and one of the nanoparticles used in drug delivery. There are two main components here, of which the first is silica.

Immunity-boosting silica nanoparticles could replace pesticides The synthetic silica nanoparticles were tested on the thale cress plant (pictured here) Marie-Lan Nguyen, C.C. 2.5 ...

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are widely considered the gold standard for nanoparticle characterization. However, choosing which to employ is a complex ...

An example of a correlative study between XRM and FIB-SEM has been presented in an earlier study. 1 This article will expand the correlation one step beneath the length scale to link FIB-SEM and TEM, ...

This report looks at the therapeutic efficacy and safety of mesoporous silica nanoparticles, inorganic particulates under investigation as a drug delivery mechanism for targeted cancer therapy.

Though it has generally been considered safe, new research in rats demonstrates that inhaling tiny amorphous silica particles, called nanoparticles, can damage the kidneys.

In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of gates, doors, beginnings and transitions between the past and the future. In fact, the first month of the year, January (from the Latin, ianuarĭus), bears ...
