Title: Biomedical applications of organically modified bioconjugated silica nanoparticles
Abstract: Nanoparticles are one of the most important prominent areas in the field of nanotechnology, with a broad significant role in current life sciences and human healthcare applications. Among the nanoparticles silica nanoparticles are explored in many biological applications because their size dependent novel properties and functions differ drastically from those of the bulk materials. In biomedical research, silica nanoparticles act as a novel class of nanodetector or nanoseparator with unique advantages due to their size, biocompatibility, specificity and other size dependent properties. In this review, we describe the applications of silica nanoparticles in the field of biomedical nanotechnology such as highly sensitive bioanalysis systems for targeted drug delivery, clinical diagnosis and immunoassay.
