Lipid surface modifications increase mesoporous silica nanoparticle labeling properties in mesenchymal stem cells

摘要

BackgroundNanoparticles have emerged as promising cell-labeling tools, as they can be precisely tailored in terms of chemical and physical properties. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), in particular, are easily tunable with regard to surface and core chemistry, and are able to confine dyes and drug molecules efficiently.
