Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery: Current Insights
Universidad Complutense de Madrid · Biomedical Research Networking Center in Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine
Abstract
This manuscript reviews the recent progress on mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery systems. Their intrinsic structural, textural and chemical features permit to design versatile multifunctional nanosystems with the capability to target the diseased tissue and release the cargo on demand upon exposition to internal or external stimuli. The degradation rate of these nanocarriers in diverse physiological fluids is overviewed obeying their significance for their potential translation towards clinical applications. To conclude, the balance between the benefits and downsides of this revolutionary nanotechnological tool is also discussed.
