The advent of Nanotechnology has paved a way for improved disease treatment strategies, the most noteworthy being the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) which have gained much recent attention in the field of cancer therapy and its diagnosis. The flaws of
We investigated the effects of silica particles and nanoparticles (NPs) (50 nm and 200 nm) with a neutral and positively charged surface when dispersed in saline, bovine serum albumin (BSA) or lung lining fluid (LLF) 24 h post instillation into
