Exocytosis of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles from Mammalian Cells: From Asymmetric Cell-to-Cell Transfer to Protein Harvesting
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have attracted considerable interest as vehicles for drug delivery because of their capacity to encapsulate large amounts of bioactive species and the ease with which their surface can be chemically modifi ed. The versatile chemistry of MSNs has enabled their functionalization with several groups to render a variety of gated nanodevices, capable of controlling the loading and release of guest molecules in a stimuli-responsive fashion
