Porous Nanoparticle Supported Lipid Bilayers (Protocells) as Delivery Vehicles

摘要

A major challenge in nanomedicine is to engineer nanostructures and materials that can efficiently encapsulate drugs at high concentration, cross the cell membrane, and controllably release the cargo at the target site over a prescribed period of time. Recently, inorganic nanoparticles have emerged as a new generation of drug/therapy delivery vehicles in nanomedicine.
