Abstract:
The cytocompatibility, cell membrane affinity, and plasmid DNA delivery from surface oxidized, metal-assisted stain-etched mesoporous silicon nanoscale particles (pSiNPs) to human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells is demonstrated, suggesting the possibility of using such material for targeted transfection and drug delivery.
