Nanoparticle Tracking in Organs with SEM

Description

Metal and magnetic nanoparticles are used in targeted drug delivery and controlled drug release. In biomedical research, these particles are often compared with polymeric and liposomal carriers because those materials are biocompatible. Current work also focuses on metallic and magnetic nanoparticles, which can be useful for...

Transcript

Metallic and magnetic nanoparticles are widely being used as nanocarriers for drug delivery. And their biodistribution in tissues is essential to evaluate their therapeutic efficacy and safety. Nanocarriers are submicron particles, usually limited to less than 200 nanometers, that can be loaded with therapeutic agents. Because of their size they...
