Protein-Silica Hybrid Submicron Particles: Preparation and Characterization

Hybrid nanoparticles are an interesting type of particles currently employed in nanomedicine. They can combine the therapeutic and diagnostic functions of their components into one single nanosystem and therefore, can be tweaked according to their applications and desired results. The purpose of this work is to develop an easily tuned nano-system of bovine serum albumin-silica hybrid nanoparticles. BSA nanoparticles were prepared by...
