Resum
Although mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been known for the last century, they have attracted considerable attention during the last decade motivated by their outstanding properties. In fact, these materials possess large surfaces and pore volumes, which make them especially suitable for research in biomedicine. In addition, the aforementioned properties can be modulated which makes these compounds of great advantage over current biosystems. Furthermore, MSNs are optically transparent, chemically inert, mechanically stable, and quite biocompatible. Therefore, the aim of this article is to delve into the properties of these nanoparticles focusing on the field of biomedicine. Moreover, the most studied applications on drug delivery and bioimaging will be analysed.
